		<description><![CDATA[President Obama today declared the swine flu epidemic in this country a national emergency. Forty-six of the 50 states now have widespread flu contagion. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to note that this is a proactive measure &#8212; not a response to a new development,&#8221; an administration official said. &#8220;H1N1 is moving rapidly, as expected.

		<description><![CDATA[The word&#8217;s been out for several weeks now: Newseek has reported that hand-washing won&#8217;t help you avoid swine flu. That sounds like the bad news, but it&#8217;s really the good news: you&#8217;re not likely to get swine flu from touching things that someone who has swine flu has touched.
