A case has been confirmed in Omaha (I'm not in Omaha itself but am in the metro area), along with another couple probable cases.

The only thing really bothering and worrying me about this is it is going around when my wife is pregnant.

The lady who's infected visited a petting zoo in San Antonio that had pigs.

It said she was at a petting zoo near pigs, is it really spreading from pigs to human that much?  In San Antonio, it very well could have spread human to human.

san antonio has had no reporting of a case of swine flu...so i don't think you know what you're talking about.

now surrounding counties - well one has confirmed 3 cases, but not in san antonio.

Well putting it like that was a little unnecessary. So there aren't any cases in San Antonio, at least confirmed.  There may have been other places she has gotten it as well, and maybe she did indeed  get it from the pigs.  However, if that's the case, I'd think other cases around San Antonio will start being confirmed, unless she's the only one who has visited the petting zoo.

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to add something.

I'm not trying to say that the boy being from Mexico is less significant, it's just as unfortunate either way.  So far, every case in the US has been mild.  This may be because IN GENERAL people in the United States live in a cleaner environment with better access to health care, which may lead to us having better immune systems.  We don't know this, but it is possible.  I'm not saying there won't be any deaths here, the epedemic may just not be as severe here as in Mexico.

I believe there is some hype to the media.  My example, the media keep putting in headlines that a 22-month old boy is the first death IN the United States.  Although it doesn't state it, the headlines are worded as if you think the boy is from Texas, he is from Mexico, and was being treated in the United States.  There have been no deaths of US citizens yet.

I also believe this strain is not any worse than other flu strains, based on how many people die each year from the flu.  The main problem is that there is no defense against this strain if you have been vaccinated.  Rico, don't waste your time going to get vaccinated if you are only doing it for swine flu, it hasn't been developed.
