Was watching BBC news and saw that H1N1 influenza A has now been classed as a pandemic here is a link to an article about it from the New Zealand herald. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10578003

I found this article about how swine flu has reached its peak at the moment and about what plans are being put in place for the fall when the flu is expected to come back with a stronger force.

BROCHURE

Hey Everyone, I just found this brochure about swine flu online - it is from the American Government, and I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have this one little section on the board where we could have a collection of these brochures for people to pick up if they would like to have more information on it. What do you think?
