Should you let Swine Flu Keep You from Traveling?

If you are sick with the flu, of course you should not travel. But should you let the fear of catching Swine Flu keep you from traveling?

Not according to mathematician Dirk Brockmann of Northwestern University. In an interview with Popular Science Magazine, he says "even if we reduced total human mobility by 60 percent, we would slow the virus only slightly".

Bottom line, if you or your family are sick, stay home. But if you want or need to travel, it is important not to worry about it and enjoy yourself.

According to Popular Science the four keys to containment of the H1N1 virus are vaccines, tracking infections, thwarting mutations and medication.
