U.S. Energy Secretary Sick with Flu After Trip with Obama

The White House is issuing a health advisory to anyone who traveled on President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico, after a member of the U.S. delegation came down with flu-like symptoms – and tests on that staffers’ family showed they are probably infected with the swine flu.

With the unfolding of a pandemic which may be the biggest or first in many peoples lifetimes, concern is in full bloom as infection of the swine flu seems to be increasing throughout many zones.

I pray this is mild and same in the fall.

I know a person who lives right by a grade school that was closed today.

I hope all preserve health through this uncertainty.
