Off Topic- Swine Flu

Know anybody personally who has swine flu yet?

I did not until this week. The bad news is that my brother and his family all have swine flu. The good news is that he did not tell me in person. In fact, they live in South Carolina. His story is a scary one. On the grounds that Swine Flu would keep you out of the water, I'll share some details here.

My bro said that it starts off like a light cold or flu and that is one of the key dangers. Many a macho man has shrugged off the early symptoms. But like a tsunami, it just keeps coming. By the time he started coming out of it, he had secondary pneumonia and had been given big time anti-biotics, steroids, and a cortisone shot. He also said it spreads like fire. His daughter acquired it from her church group (you'd think that wouldn't happen). Shortly afterward, the whole family had swine flu including my brother who is one of those guys that never get sick.
