VP Biden says--

Considering that via airplane travel is how swine flu spread to all regions of the US (aside from the initial cases in Texas), I agree with him.

Planes are incubators. Recycled air, close quarters. One person with swine could potentially infect the entire plane.

I agree that all unnecessary travel should be limited.

I hear ya. I might have to do some traveling for work soon.

My roommate is a high school teach and just happens to be sick. That's always comforting.

It is true JD that some may have been spread to other areas of the country
because people traveled there by plane transportation, but not because people got the flu while on a plane,
although that could happen in any enclosed area.

Better WHO gives out that kind information if needed, then listen to a VP's opinion imho.


Sure doesn't help the economy either way.
