    Seriously Adam? wrote on November 04, 2009 10:38 PM: Actually one of the deaths was confirmed by testing and retesting to verify. So unless you know the facts, shush.

    Geezus, fools everywhere wrote on November 04, 2009 04:40 PM: Nobody has died from Hog flu. It's ridiculous to print this nonsense. What 20 people out of how many living in this valley? It's nothing. Only about one thousandths of a percent! Get a grip.

If you feel that you have the flu or symptoms of the flu stay home. I recently had a sick woman come into my bar and tell me her daughter had H1n1 and that she was not feeling good. As a result I had to sterilize everything she touched. Come on people use common sense.
