Swine Flu is starting to get scary
When I started to hear about Swine Flu in the spring, I didn’t think it was a big deal. Now kids in our nearby school districts are getting it. President Obama has declared a national emergency. The idea is getting a little scary now.
The main thing to keep in mind is if you have symptoms of the flu, don’t go to work and school. It’s irresponsible to spread the flu whether it’s Swine Flu or the regular flu. Experts say it’s too early to be the regular flu.
A girl my fiancé works with came to work with the flu. When I heard about that, I was ticked off. When you work in food service, you should have better sense. She said this is the second time she has had it. Can we say moron? I know she doesn’t have sick days, but it’s common sense that if you don’t feel good, you aren’t going to get better by working and exerting your energy.
One would think that this “disease” would affect elders rather than young people, but Web sites say babies, children and those up to 30 years old will be affected the most. Being 25, I am in that category.
I have been washing my hands even more than I usually do and I have hand sanitizer at my desk. I’m trying to do all that I can to prevent the spread of germs.

Yes swine flu is getting really scary my sister in law and her 4 kids all have it right now… its in the schools and communities and unfortunately there is nothing we can do but wait and hope for the best as most of us dont qualify for immunizations… my poor daughter is five and I would give anything to get her immunized against it at this point….
We too are washing our hands but honestly its an air-borne virus hand washing aint gonna cut it and we all know it… but it beats doing nothing right. There are also several homeopathic options for flu prevention so if you dont qualify for the shot i suggest going into a natural foods or homeopathic shop and seeing what they have that can boost your immune system and help avoid coming down with the flu.
