swine flu

Apr 30, 2009 | |

the swine flu - a popular topic these days, has now hit peru. and by hit i mean one quarantined woman in lima, but that hasnt stop the ministry of health from offering advice for not contracted swine flu. cover your mouth, stay out of crowded places and dont kiss a lot of people. mily points out we are all screwed since the standard greeting here is a kiss on the cheek. me with my cold american ways which often forget to go and kiss strangers on the cheek may have the best shot here. but that advantage may be nullifyed by my many combi rides per day, 20 people in a van, yeah like its not going to spread super quick if it makes it to cusco. maybe we should purchase travel insurance now dad?

We have swine flu freak outs here too! It's ridiculous. One kid gets it and they contemplate shutting the college down (like no classes). But then what will we do? Spend all day in a dorm? They do know that diseases spread like wildfire in dorms right? shrug Good luck being the callous American.
