Answer to Question 1

From 1997 until 2005, the People's Bank of China fixed the Chinese yuan exchange rate. Over this time, the demand for the yuan increased, so the People's Bank of China supplied additional yuan to keep the exchange rate constant. By supplying yuan, the People's Bank acquired large amounts of foreign currency. In addition, by fixing its exchange rate China essentially pegged its inflation rate to equal the U.S. inflation rate. Since 2005 the yuan has been allowed to appreciate slightly as the People's Bank moved to a crawling peg exchange rate policy. The exchange rate has not been allowed to change much, so over the long run the Chinese inflation rate remains closely tied to U.S. inflation.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
