This email was sent to me by a friend. It's one I thought worth passing along to everyone (especially in California) that I know...

Remember that stuff about hiding under a table or standing in a doorway. Is this ever an eye opener. Directly opposite of what we've been taught over the years! I can remember in school being told to, 'duck and cover' or stand in a doorway during an earthquake. This guy's findings are absolutely amazing. I hope we all remember his survival method if we are ever in an earthquake. EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON THE: 'TRIANGLE OF LIFE' >>

Third (upate: Fifth) death in San Bernardino county reported

We just found this article referring to San Bernardino health officials stating that they were NOT going to be reporting Swine Flu cases in the county promptly.

As a contrast, the State of California Department of Public Health seems to be updating its web site each week. >>
