this is not new news. this been going on for at least a week now. Been keeping up on that. they also havea page over at cnn of the breakdowns of who/where and how many cases reported and deaths and such. I checked two days ago and USA had 37 reported cases and Canada had I think 11 reported cases and 3 of them died. Its nasty stuff.
This is scary, you know Dr. Urbaini must have been cautious. He knows more than most about contamination yet he still got sick. Scarry.

Dr. Carlo Urbani, 46, of Italy, a World Health Organization expert on communicable diseases, became infected while working in Vietnam, where he diagnosed a U.S. businessman hospitalized in Hanoi, the U.N. agency said. The businessman later died.
Kinda worries me, since Ive had pneumonia the last two winters running. The only reason I donot have this time is because of the dialysis treatments and the close watch on my body chemistry.

pickel you will probably be much safer than most. You are aware of germs and know to wash your hands when you get home from an outing. Keep your hands off your face. The little things that so many people don't know or practice.
Just being aware can go along way to keep you safe.
