Hé Guys,

Been travelling in Guatemala for some weeks now and the place seems empty!! Where is everybody? Thinking of comming to Caye Caulker but first want to know if there is any liveliness on the island. Any people around? Restaurants and bars empty at night??

Thanks for replying.

I'm many miles away and just guessing, but I would say that folks are not traveling or going out with the terrible and rampant SWINE FLU (!) going around...

Where is the rolling eyes emoticon when you need it?

We're having porker parties!

Saw an interesting stat the other day. The ordinary flu kills more than 30,000 just in the US alone each year. Swine flu? 56 worldwide. Bird flu? 79 worldwide in the years since the pandemic hit us.

Media euphoria about a new panic? Priceless. Thankfully the mortality rate among the media will be 100%. Someday.

Not soon enough!
