All things swine flu (H1N1)

There's a thread on this in the "Up to the Minute" forum, as well.

I can't imagine not touching my cats! I have four of them and they are either near me or on me most of the time I am stationary (except for the Meezer (siamese) as he insists on riding around on my shoulders purring into my ear [ keeps my motor going - I stop working if purr energy runs out]).

It would be hell having to shut them out of the bedroom every night and essentially ignoring them. I wasn't the least bit concerned about the swine flu until now.

WELCOME, N.C. (AP)—A crew member for Richard Childress Racing has died of complications from the H1N1 virus.

Donald “DJ” Richardson died late Friday after a lengthy hospitalization for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Richardson contracted H1N1 during a Thanksgiving visit to his home state of Massachusetts, and team officials say he had been hospitalized at Health Alliance Hospital in Leominster the entire time.

The 37-year-old Richardson spent last season as a tire changer on Kevin Harvick’s crew.
