this pic is our translator, Mira with a mask on. A few days ago some Kazak children came back from a foreign country to Astana and brought in the swine flu. so you see people all over the city wearing a mask. Everytime someone has the swine flu here they put out an alert and everyone who can puts on a mask. It has been going on for 4 days now. only about one fourth wear a mask. we don't.
