IMO, this wasn’t a *natural* occurence.
Fer a minute there, I thought you said “Cibola”.

Remember the story a few months ago about arabs dying while playing with bio weapons in africa? Connection?
Multiply that by ten, maybe a hundred thousand, in every state, then we can talk. Is there is a more easily transmissible disease than influenza? I don't think so. I've been completely smacked down for almost a week now, with symptoms that match to a 'T' those described for this flu. Still feel like I've been run over by a cement truck. Must have caught it locally, but I'm not in one of the states mentioned by the CDC. This is the most mobile society on earth, tracking something like this only seems possible after the damage, if any, is done.

Doctors in America are advising worried patients to buy painters’ masks as a precaution against the global outbreak of swine flu that appears to have spread from Mexico to the United States, New Zealand and possibly Europe.
As of today, the US was still allowing people to cross the border from Mexico – where it is thought the swine flu emerged last week
– although customs officials at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings were given protective masks. It is thought that eight people in US border towns have gone down with swine flu, and tonight Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that a further eight cases have been confirmed among students in New York.
