Its a familiar pattern throughout history. Its not a fatal virus, but it can be to the weak and old, but hopefully most will survive if they contract it.

The Jatakas comprise a large body of folklore dating from around Gautama Buddha's time (6th century BC) to the third century AD. However, this ancient version features a hare as the central character rather than a chicken, and the wise protagonist is a lion (the Bodhisattva or future Buddha).^[2] Edited by: Anna Hawthorne at:30th April 2009 01:21 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

( if the school is closed ) I told her about the N95 mask to get from the hardware store, in case her (ill) clients come into her office. Look up CDC website for facts.

Gulp, umm, err, cough, sneeze! I think the main thing is not to be too worried but aware, and hope that the powers that be (surely he can do one thing right in Government cant he?) can produce a vaccine in time for when it comes back in the Autumn/Winter! Hope the little girl in Sandhills will be okay. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
