Swine Flu in Moldova

I'm glad I don't own a television, because I'm sure the media is living on the swine flu situation right now. In Moldova, there have been a few deaths, and of course, the number of cases continue to grow each week.

Peace Corps is certainly taking care of Volunteers, but this situation has also given Volunteers an opportunity to learn more about traditional medical beliefs. Namely, the ability of onion and garlic to prevent the flu. The New York Times even picked up on this story. You can read about it here. It's a good thing I don't mind the extra kick in my soup!
