so....are you guys concerned yet??
I have been VERY CONCERNED ever since the swine flu started....i think i was the only person.
Now there is a death and it is a child. are you guys worried yet?? ?This disease is everywhere...30 miles above us and 30 miles below us. ?I will NOT be taking my baby out. ?This is way too risky. ?no one can convince me that this is not real!!!
PLEASE people...you NEED to start taking this seriously...it is NOT media hype!!!!!?
Re: so....are you guys concerned yet??
Ehh...the flu season is ending so cases will go down. By the time flu season comes around again they'll have a specific vaccine for it.
I saw the story about the little kid in TX. It's really a shame, but some people are more suceptible to the virus than other people.
yes, babies are very suseptible...and babies are taken care of by adults. ?So if you catch swine, why would you not be concerned about passing it to a baby?
and if flu season is even relevant, than why are swine cases going up and not down?
You have every right to be concerned and if I had a newborn or any children at all I would probably be worried too. However, swine flu = avian bird flu = mad cow disease = ecoli from strawberries and spinach = salmonella from sprouts and peanut butter = an endless list of deadly medical complications from things that I cannot control. This is not saying that I don't pay attention to the news and that I don't try to take necessary precautions. However in the meantime I try not to panic or worry about these issues. Are they concerning? Yes of course. Can I control them? No of course not. I can only control my actions. I probably won't go to Mexico City and probably won't eat alfalfa sprouts right (they are the latest salmonella link). I am also crazy though and believe that most of this is government induced hysteria.
I am not overly concerned...yet. On my way to the train, they had a Dr on the radio and he was saying that we should all be cautious about washing hands, coughing into a tissue, etc. but not panic. He said that with outbreaks like this, it is normal for the # of cases will gradually go up but will eventually go back down and unfortunately there will probably be deaths.
I think we all need to be cautious, but at this point, there is not a need to panic. The media builds this stuff up and freaks people out.
This article has a lot of good info about the fact that if you're going to freak about swine flu, you might want to realize what the regular flu holds for tens of thousands of people every year.
