As most of you may have heard, there has been a recent case of swine flu. It has spread all over the world, including Australia.

There are already 61 Melburnians infected with this. While this may not seem like a large number to you, it actually is quite a large number. As swine flu is contagious, it is quickly spreading. They're closing down some schools temporarily here, as students are most likely to get swine flu. There have been reports that even children under 5 years old are infected with swine flu.

I would like to give my best wishes to the family members to those who have swine flu and of course, to those who have it. And to those who have lost one of their family members because of swine flu, I give my greatest sympathy.
