Long Course Kick Off Cancelled
Importance: High
Dear TXLA Swimmers and Parents,
The Long Course Kick Off meet, scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled due to the increasing incidence of the N1H1 Virus and its apparently elevated prevalence, especially in the San Antonio area where many of our swimmers are coming from. We are working on rescheduling sometime in June. We will let you know as plans firm up.

USMS SCY Nats is coming up here's the comment from
From Dowain Wright, Meet Director and physician. :
At this time, there is no indication that the USMS National Short Course Championships will be adversely affected by the Swine Flu outbreak. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and keep everyone informed. It appears that all transmission of the virus in the US is the result of close and prolonged contact with an infected individual. Community wide spread by casual contact has not occurred. However, we request that any swimmer having a upper respiratory illness stay at home.
Sincerely,
Dowain Wright, MD, PhD
Meet Director, UMSM SC Nationals

a friend of mine asked
If Dowain is up to date on California's Governator's proclamations?
At some point soon USMS Nationals Officials & USMS need to make an official call.
What should they do?
Are folks over reacting?

Before we go comparing this to the 1918 pandemic, oops, too late.
Remember that the news conduits do not make any money selling good health, prosperity or harmony. Therefore, we will not hear or read about anything harboring those traits. The only newsman who ever spent time on good news is dead. Long live Paul Harvey.
All of the 55-59 age group men should, for safety's sake, stay home this coming week and not tempt fate. I think that was in the governator's proclamation. You could look it up.:bed:
I think I read somewhere that the west coast strain is particularly aggressive with men ages 55-59. It is recommended that such people avoid spending multiple hours in an enclosed environment (such as an airplane or automobile) until after May 10.
