Swine Flu Fears May Hammer Travel Industry

http://moneynews.newsmax.com/economy/swine_flu/2009/04/28/208201.html





This item has to do with the new flu epidemic. With this break out, some are suspecting the travel industry being hit hard. Travel to mexico has been heavily discouraged by the US government. Other countries have started taking action also. Europe's health official has said not to travel anywhere the flu has hit. Other countries are taking action in the airports by checking people for signs of fever. I chose this article because my family and i are big travelers and this just interested me. I do agree with the governments discouraging travel to flu hit places because they are looking out for the better interest of the country. Nothing could be worse than it spreading throughout the world because of people traveling with the flu to different countries. Yes the information is being stated fairly because the article shows the reasons why governments are taking these precautions. The government could shut down travel completly but i think that is too drastic and some people must travel. this is my second time using this source and i would use it again.

  1. Byron, You chose an excellent article with a lot of detail -- did you read the link to the full article? Do you think governments are doing enough to stop the spread of the flu? Do you think they could do any more?

    I see you're not done, so...
