Swine Flu – is it out of control?

Not yet but it’s arrived in Brisbane! Australia wide there are 61 cases of Swine Flu confirmed and in the next few days more are expected.

We’ve been on stand-by with masks and daily news up-dates. Now Swine flu alerts have been sent home from schools, as cases are confirmed.

A P&O cruise ship has been quarantined off Willis Island, east of Cairns. The staff were isolated and tested.

Are locals anoyed? Yes – you bet! The ship knew that there were sick passengers on a docking cruise and still re-loaded with new passengers AND the same staff.
