California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency Tuesday to respond to the swine flu outbreak after two fatalities in Los Angeles were being investigated for possible links to the virus.
It seems that California is jumping the gun a little and could induce an unnecessary state-wide panic.
With this "state of emergency" announcment, California is also requesting that federal funds be made available for preventative measures.
The declaration is accompanied by a request for federal funds to cover enactment of emergency "services, materials, personnel and equipment to supplement extraordinary preventive measures being taken across the state."
Good! And pink!
