...it's spreading. No cases in Iowa as of yet, but we've got big-ass hog lots here, so I'm sure it'll show up at some point. Cheerfully, reports are that young adults between the ages of 25 and 45 are the biggest group of people at risk, which is just such a great way to start the working week, what with me being 25 and all.
If you want up-to-the minute news on this stuff, I'd say Drudge is your man. That guy has been all over this since the word go and he's getting stuff well ahead of anything you're going to find on the mainstream media.
Happily, we've got stockpiles of effective flu vaccines around the place. They're working on a specific one- right now. And there are common sense measures we can all take at this point in time:
Cover your mouth when you cough.
Wash your hands.
