OMG, I would be so mad if I were you that they went!
YES, I am totally freaked out by the Swine Flu! My sister and I were just talking about it today when she came over here to eat lunch. The scary thing is, you can have it and not even show any signs and you can still infect someone else, even if you have just gotten it. They have already closed down numerous schools in some of the cities in Texas because there was an outbreak. And of course I'm sure you all know about the 23 month old from here in Texas that died because of this Flu.
And now they are saying that even the mask's that everyone has been wearing over their faces are no good. If wearing one, you need to change it at least every hour as your breath makes the mask moist and with the mask being moist it can hold and actually "trap" the all the germs.
My hubby does work at alot of the doctors offices here and he said that ALL OVER their computers are web sites about the Swine Flu and sticky notes all over the offices about it as well. He talked to some of the doctors and they said that they have been SWAMPED with people coming in thinking that they have it - everyone is just so freaked out. He said that SO FAR no one here has it, but all the offices are on high alert. I am just sooo terrified by this Flu...
