Smart Flu

A nightmare has been around in these past few months. The flu… Well, not any flu, it’s the swine flu, which was an epidemic sickness that shook and is shaking the world. It started in Mexico, God only knows why. Mexico, being amongst the top ten most visited destinations in the world, helped the sickness move around the world, and spread it first to France and US, which are also conveniently amongst the top ten most visited destinations in the world. What’s even more convenient is that traveling is done mostly on airplanes when it’s about crossing the seas. So it’s you breathing the same air as some other 200 randomly chosen people, which perhaps raises the chances of acquiring the sickness. The US, with its admirably efficient health system, is the second country with the most deaths and by far the country with the most confirmed cases, which could also be because it’s right next to the Mexican border. However, as Mexico City resumed its regular activity and classes were re-opened, the US confirmed more cases and the flu appeared in new countries. As Mexico goes back to its regular way of life, Colombia received two days ago the news of its first confirmed death, and Japan confirmed the virus was in Tokyo, coming from girls who were in New York for an MUN conference. Weren’t there CNG students there as well?
