Swine Flu

This article is about the swine flu in EL PASO, Texas. Handful of schools around the country have closed over swine flu fears and some people are wearing masks. It's mostly business as usual in the U.S. , even at border crossings into Mexico. The swine flu has killed as many as 152 people in Mexico, where schools have been canceled nationwide. There were 50 confirmed cases of the swine flu in the United States: 28 at a private high school in New York City, 13 in California, 6 in Texas, 2 in Kansas and 1 in Ohio.

I choosed this article because I wanted to know more about the swine flu and how it all began. I didn't really think the swine flu was that serious until I read this article and saw the news, they were explaining how the swine flu was being spread nationwide and I was suprised seeing the number of people dying from the swine flu.

I do not agree with whats happening because now people have to be careful with what or who they come in contact with. People can't even go outside in certain countries or states, soccer stadiums were closed. I just hope it doesn't get that bad here in Newburgh.

I do think the information was presented fairly because it explained how schools were closed, number of people that died, and the number of cases there were.

I would use this news source again.
