You should not worry about traveling to the US. If you are traveling to Mexico then I would worry. I live in ohio and we have a population of 11 million people. Of that entire population 1 case has been announced. I would not let it affect your travel plans.

Since there have now been reported cases of swine flu in Europe, I wouldn%26#39;t worry too much about travel to the U.S. The cases have been isolated, and it hasn%26#39;t turned into a major epidemic affecting all urban areas.

No cases in New Orleans so far!

Just remember to wash your hands as often as possible! You should be just fine!

Absolutely no reason to be unduly concerned. Because of airplanes, there%26#39;s about as much chance a UK tourist visiting Mexico could bring it back to London!

The cases in the US have been mostly in New York, with a few in Kansas and Ohio, and have been mild. Come on over and enjoy your vacation!!

The case up here in Ohio is about 10 miles from me. It%26#39;s an 11 year old boy who was on vacation with his family in Mexico. Hopefully it will be contained.

I flew to Boston last night and sat next to a doctor. He told me ';not to kiss any pigs'; but otherwise he wasn%26#39;t overly concerned at this point.

I%26#39;m at Tulane%26#39;s School of Public Health, and we just had a ';briefing.'; And by briefing, they told us to wash our hands...

Nothing major to report.

We%26#39;ve been traveling to other countries for many years, and we always take small bottles of anti-bacterial hand cleanser. We use the stuff frequently, and we always use it just before meals and after using the restroom.

The outbreaks in Mexico have been confined to the areas in and around Mexico City and the northern border with the USA.

We%26#39;ll be heading to Playa del Carmen in early June with our anti-bacterial cleanser in hand. If you%26#39;re concerned about the Swine Flu, I suggest that you purchase a bottle or two and use it frequently.
