Yes we do, 3 teachers were quarantined for it, one for 1st degree contact coming back from new york, and one for second degree contact with her, and one for 3rd degree contact with her spouse visiting the 1st degree teachers family.
All good though, teacher who came back from new york has been given a treatment of tamiflu, and will be back at school on monday.Comment

keep in mind the one infant death in Texas that the news is reporting was a visitor from Mexico but ABC says nothing about where the child came from. Nothing here in central Calif so far. Where are the meds?Comment

Let's see: The Swine flu originated somewhere in Mexico, yet we (well, our government) still "encourages" illegal aliens to cross the border for all the free stuff they can receive - including healthcare. That certainly sounds like a sane policy to me.
Those little viruses can't tell the difference between an evil Conservative or a tolerant Liberal. They are equal-opportunity infectors. In more sane times when the politically correct illegal immigration issues were not a factor, our government (whose duty it is to protect the citizens), would have been more proactive in preventing the spread of a disease.A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolvesComment

Beck, Rush, Hannity and the rest of the moron brigade have been pounding this idiotic drum for the past few days so I guess it is no surprise that their audience has picked op the beat.
Not one single case of this flu has been attributed to an illegal alien. Every case outside of Mexico appears to be the result of people who have recently traveled legally from Mexico. But as usual, let's not let facts get in the way of a good Right Wing Rant.
I am not aware of any local cases yet. Some schools (private) have closed but that is about it. One point to keep in mind is that approximately 30,000 Americans die every year from the flu or related illnesses.Don't get me started

This is scary stuff. My son got a touch of something bad yesterday. He was vomiting, tired and on the weak side for a while. Since we just were on a plane we worried that it was the Swine Flu, but he has seemed to have gotten over it. Thankfully!!!Steven Vaccaro

And some general info:
109 cases in the US. One death so far.
Meanwhile approximately 125 died yesterday in automobile accidents. Not contagious to be sure, but far more deadly.Don't get me startedComment

Well Hell... that makes us all feel better...
Sheesh Bill... what are you smoking these days??? Or are you still drinking the Kool-Aide??? 
That's such a typical Leftist distraction... or redirection... 
Just in case it wasn't OBVIOUS... one doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the other!! And, frankly, one is caused mostly by people being IDIOTS, and the other by a nasty virus...
Now I'm wondering what kind of crap they are going to pass through the Congress and Senate now that we are all looking the other way...

One case in Missouri confirmed. We have two office women still in Mexico on vacation and back Sat. Our director was convinced by a few of us and are putting them on administrative leave for a few days and work from home unitl we get the ALL clear that they get no symptons. We feel it is important enough to the rest of the staff to do this. The two women do not know this as they are still in Mexico but a letter has gone up to HR informing them of our actions.
How do you know the person next to you in the grocery store did not just get back from a trip and they hack and cough around you in line?
Hell with the little surgeons mask...I am going to wear my good paint mask and a big ass body condom :)
Bill, you constantly freak me out with your rebuttles. So....10 died yesterday from masturbing or other sexual issues...6 died from chocking on a piece of gum and 22 people died of self inflicted injuries. Does it really matter when discussing a direct issue of a worldwide epidemic? That crap happens everyday...it is called life...this is diferrent.Comment
