Wondering about 'swine flu' ??

I'm honestly not worried about the "swine flu" (technically H1N1 influenza) outbreak that's been talked about so much lately.

That said, it never hurts to be prepared and well-informed, right? I think one of the reasons I'm not panicky and stressed out over this potential sickness is the volume I've read about it while at work.

So, in the interest of helping everyone stay informed - and NOT to "spread panic," as one friend of mine accused me of - we created a "swine flu center" on the YDR news site. Click the image below to check it out. All credit for the hard work on this goes to fellow editor Amy, who really got an online skills workout building this while I was off last week! Way to go, Amy!

My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
