The Virginia Department of Health has received confirmation of the state’s first two cases of swine flu.

State Health Commissioner Karen Remley said tonight that the patients are an adult male from eastern Virginia and an adult female from central Virginia.

Each had traveled to Mexico, both had mild illnesses and are recovering well, and neither required hospitalization. Neither is a student.

Remley said additional cases in Virginia are likely, given the size of the state’s population, seasonal travel patterns and the ease with which the flu virus is spread.

1. So far,

this flu pandemic is running far behind deaths from regular influenza by a whole hell of a lot.

Every day, 3,000 people die of malaria, but you don't hear a big uproar about it.

Why?

Because there's NO MONEY in manufacturing a vaccine for malaria.

Yeah, it's that simple. This whole thing is manufactured and exploited...............
