In Uruguay there are no comfirmed cases of swine influenza. Until yesterday, there was a case under investigation, but not comfirmed. Anyway, all the world is paying atention to the news and facts of this global problem.

The Health Services here started some days ago a campaign to give the vaccine against flu to all the population (from 6 months old children). I went with my family today. Even when this vaccine is not against specific swine flu, the H. Services declared that is recommended for reduce the risks, and make easier diagnose possible cases. I have seen in some news and reports, how people is going in massive way to get the vaccine. Even when it seems not to find panic among the population, everybody is taking care and following the suggestions of authorities. I think this is a good thing to remark.

I've been in touch with a friend of Mexico, and a neighbour forwarded a mail from his son who is in Cancun, and I can note the preocupation in people there. How can a disease change all the activity of a country, and keep in alert to all the planet! It's clearly seen, we are so fragile.

I hope the best for all my friends, and all the world to keep safe from all this. Best wishes to all, and take care!!
