Looks like there isn't any stopping this flu. And since most places have already run out of flu vaccine. There really isn't much hope. Let's just pray that this Swine Flu doesn't evolve much further than it already has. It's already been announced that there's outbreaks here in our city of Parañaque. Crap!

Looks like the dreaded influenza's spreading like wildfire. And I noticed that it's always in schools that a lot of the cases are found. Are college students more prone to the disease than most people?
