| | Swine flu is here in NZ
Well we are just like you fellas now, a bunch of collage students arrived back from Mexico & the USA last Friday & three of them have shown positive to swine flu, also on the news this morning two women on a flight from Los Angeles to Australia have been quarantined at Auckland hospital with flu symptoms so it just shows how vulnerable we are to illnesses in the modern world, in one week with world travel the virus has traveled from one side of the world to the other.

Yo Mate, I sent ya an e-mail with that Google tracking map.
Ya ever watch that crazy flick "12 Monkeys"??
It was about spreading a Virus worldwide or in the attempts to thwart the travels by going back and forth in Time.
Another one of them goofy yet fun Bruce Willis satires.

We now have the swine flu because a bunch of kids decided to spend their vacation in a country called Mexico, which I note is your countries next door neighbor, I also believe the population of Mexico city is some thing like 22 million what better breeding ground for such viruses etc, like I have said we are at the other end of the world, but alas with modern air travel we are just as susceptible as you. I sir in some ways wish I lived in your country, I would like to live in Montana or Wyoming miles away from any people & only come to town once a month or so for essentials etc, as far as talking & meeting with other people I would be happy as a piggy in poo & be by myself to watch the world go by, I picked those states because I believe they are rather large & under populated, I could perhaps do the same in my country but we have very few Ford or Chevy pickups down here & those we do have are to expensive for a a poor man like me, & lets be honest to be a wild rugged man you have to have a decent pickup truck hence my longing to hibernate in the wilds of Montana or Wyoming.
May I wish you & your family & friends the best of luck & hope you are all safe & well in the future, I will no doubt have to swell the coffers of that Pharmaceutical company ROCHE & buy some Tami flu capsules, it seems like most kiwis have gone mad & are buying face masks & boxes of Tami flu capsules, I will just carry on as always, you know the old, same shyte same day stuff & wait & see what fate throws my way.
