The good news this week:   Europe is very close to approving an H1N1 vaccine, and the rapping doctor won the video contest run by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 

The not-so-good news comes from Sanjay Gupta (CNN) and Kate Dailey (Newsweek).  They both came down with H1N1 flu, but there is a bright side.  They both report that H1N1 is a lot like the regular flu, and they recovered fully within a few days.  Hopefully, this will help quell people’s fear of contracting it.  Here’s our wrap up:
