Swine flu

[Otaku]

What do you make of it? Do you think Mexico has any idea how to handle the outbreak? Do you think the outbreak will make it to Japan?

Not sure but I think the real danger is if it makes it to China. God help trying to control the spread of the disease if it makes it there. The news reports I saw were generally "experts" talking about how Japan was "safe" from the disease because Japan is so far from the source. Apparently the expert in question has never heard of airports......

You mean those things are real?! I mean, I'd heard the legends, but still...

I'll be doing my part come the end of golden week.

Maybe

There was an article on the front page of the local newspaper here in Okinawa about a scientist here in Okinawa that has just patented a formula that kills off the bird-flu virus and has potential as well for use on the Swine flu virus as well.

The guy created the forumla using a natural source, the sendan tree which grows in abundance here in Okinawa.

I think it is also related to the Indian Sandalwood tree. Something in the flowers, bark, wood, and leaves of the tree kills off the virus itself and is being checked NOW to see if it can work as well on the swine flu too.

I wish this guy luck and all speed in his research.
