We've been watching with interest the spread of the "newest" swine flu- the media frenzy, the fear it invokes. My research has determined that this flu isn't really any more powerful than the regular flu that hits each year, this one just has a great PR manager. I guess it's the Brittany Spears or Jon and Kate of flu.
I'm not making light of the flu, it's dangerous. Especially to youngsters and the elderly and those with a compromised immune system like my husband. He has a very rare illness that is affecting his lungs and has to take special care to avoid upper respiratory infections.
The new H1N1 flu strain has been confirmed locally, two cases, so I'm being extra cautious with the hand cleaner and making wide circles around anyone who even remotely sounds like they might be sick.
Stay healthy! Wash those hands. If you're sick, don't share. Stay home.
