I was in New York (the Bronx) like 2 weeks ago the part where the swine flu is really bad is in Queens. 8 schools or more has been close due to the swine flu. In the city, there have not been any reporting in the other boroughs yet.

To what part of NY do you want to go?

It's not like you really have to avoid Queens.. the spots that have bad cases are pretty secluded, and you wouldn't have any reason to go there on a visit anyway.

No one is dying on the streets from swine flu. You can go to anywhere in NYC and you'll be fine.

I live in Queens and teach in the public schools, and I don't have it. You'll be fine.

Even if you happened to catch the N1H1 virus (which is the preferred name), the chance of you getting terribly sick and/or dying from it are minimal at best.

Go ahead and book your trip to NYC -- you'll be fine!
