What a U.S. swine flu death means for Houston
If so, that's good news for me living on the Gulf Coast (despite repeated flooding recently).

I did buy some N95 masks once I saw heavy chatter on Twitter; 2 masks/box, and bought 2 boxes for <$5. They're mostly for hubby, since I'm currently doing the homemaker thing. I don't regret buying them. They were cheap, and I knew they wouldn't be available much longer. Hopefully we'll never use them, but should we see the worst happen, at least we'll have some protection better than painter or paper masks.
