Swine Flu (Finally in Egypt)

Tuesday the 9th of April 2009, two more cases of swine flu were announced and in addition to the other five discovered during the week , all found in the AUC dorms in "Zamalek".
Citizens of the area are begining to panic and the sight of people in flu masks became usual.
The obvious problem is, while swine flu was given more than it's fair share of media coverage and panic over the last couple of months and it's agreed that it is not of that great danger every body is saying it is, but still due to poor health conditions in Egypt and the fact that we are unprepared for such a disease (like we were n't with bird flu) it could be a disaster and we have nothing to do but pray.
