| Swine Flu Hits Joos and Kiwis |
| 2009-04-28 |
| New Zealand's health minister and an Israeli hospital are reporting the first confirmed cases of swine flu to hit the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific regions. The other case is in Netanya, an Israeli city north of Tel Aviv. Laboratory tests confirm swine flu in a 26-year-old patient who recently returned from Mexico. Should we be afraid now? |

| #3 "who recently returned from Mexico" Hmmmmm - I'm sure there's some sort of pattern here, if we could just detect it.... |

| #2 flu is spread so easily P2P that blood transfusion risk would be very small. You are more likely to get the flu from the nurse who hooks up your IV. |

| #1 The elephant in the living room that no one is discussing right now is the blood supply and it's potential use as a vector. ISRAEL |
