Tuvalu Stricken With Swine Flu

Tuvalu, it looks, isn't safe from the reaches of the current Swine Flu epidemic spreading over the world, and now even Tuvalu, whom has a very small tourism market, has recorded its first confirmed cases of the virus, 6 people, all of whom had recently been overseas. Out of these 6 people, 5 of them have been children, and the arrival of passenger ships to the islands or from it has been postponed until Government officials can determine what the cause of the Swine Flu is, and how they can contain it from spreading further. The Tuvaluan government has a stockpile of drugs for use for treatment against the virus currently.
