I often wonder how fast world news actually reaches us here in the U.S. This story happened quite some time back. My good friend's husband is Vietnamese. He called home (to Vietnam) and his relatives told him about this terrible flu that was killing people in their country. It was a few months before I actually heard anything about it on the news. It turned out the be the Bird Flu. Maybe it just depends, but I often wonder what else we're not hearing about...
