Esti Lamonaca, a senior who made the Cancun trip, could hardly speak Sunday because her voice was so hoarse. She spent days battling a fever of nearly 103 and was wearing a mask.

Oh and PJ You can't drink for 24 hours after the shot, so the beer in hand is out. LOL
For those living here there was an article today that they may be closing places where there are many people, such as Soriana, Walmart Chedrauyi and so on so Aida made me stock up.
Damn media has to make big thing from nothing (As I sneeze, sniffle and cough)

 

Today's news from the Cancun airport is that the majority of planes are landing with very few passengers aboard. The planes are leaving full.

 

[QR] Although the state health authorities said that so far no confirmed case in the state, the governor acknowledged Monday that there have been 22 probable cases of swine influenza, of which 15 have been tested and discarded.

Thanks RiverGirl, followed your twitter. Keep on reporting, please, what is going on over there.

 

I certainly hope they are not honestly considering this, as it would induce a real panic.. the likes of which you see before a major hurricane, but for longer periods.. if they are truly concerned about it all they need to do is hand out masks at the door...

 

Wow! Alarming to read that recent cases can be attributed to recent travels to Cancun. Girlfriend and I were there last week. We left the Sun Palace Friday and the resort was filling up. Curious to know what it will be like next week. We had a fantastic time BTW. Been to the Caribbean many times but never to Cancun. I will definitely be back.
