Christmas looks to be swine-quiet

With many countries and local health care authorities making adequate provisions for the festive holidays, it remains to be seen if there will be another panic that either the swine flu outbreak has mutated and broken out again, or that there will be a shortage of vaccinations in some countries, regions. It seems as though, swine flu is still on the minds of a lot of people, although in Taiwan i have noticed less people wear face masks, although its still very much on the consciousness of the Taiwanese, and you still see parents making their children wear them on the way to school and definitely there's still a lot of people wearing them on the underground.

In other countries, many governments are still advising their populace to carry out better Hygeinic practices and go to a doctor if they start to feel ill with flu like symptoms. It's also comforting to see that even poorer countries being able to stock pile vaccination shots for their most vulnerable groups.
