The threat of a swine flu pandemic kept global businesses and investors on edge Tuesday, disrupting travel plans and sending stock markets down on fears the outbreak could worsen and cause more economic misery. Stocks of air lines and travel adgencies were in fear that travellers would stay home due to the out break. "Much of the fallout hit financial markets jittery about the future, as opposed to the real economy. Shares in Europe's largest airline Air France-KLM continued the sharp drop begun Monday, falling an additional 2.85 percent to euro8.16 on Tuesday. Shares in European hotel giant Accor SA, which operates 9 Sofitel and nearly 1,000 Motel 6 hotels in the United States, slid 4.35 percent to euro30.10." said Greg Keller. The virus suspected 150 deaths in Mexico.With the world economy already seen shrinking 1.3 percent this year by the International Monetary Fund, swine flu could add more stress by further eroding trade, consumer spending and investment — snuffing out what many say are the glimmers of a recovery. i chose this artical because its a very hot subject right now.

Yes, the writer was simply states the economic loss many buisness are suffering. i would definatly use this source again i love the articals here!!!!

Raven, Oh, that title. :-D The article you picked appeared on the San Francisco Chronicle Web site, but it was written by the Associated Press, a news service that publishes the same story in hundreds of papers around the country -- including the Times Herald Record. It clearly shows you have an eye for a reliable source of information. Try and be more careful in your summary -- you missed a lot of the bottom of the article, which also had important information. You also weren't completely clear. What can you "understand rather"?
