How bad is the “Swine Flu” really?
I went to the store yesterday simply to follow the easy steps I read in the paper about swine flu and how to prevent it from spreading. I simply wanted to buy a hand sanitizer but would you believe it? They were out of hand sanitizers! The lady said she’s been selling hand sanitizers like hotcakes due to the news. I ended up buying sanitizing wipes instead. It was almost impossible to get the hand sanitizer gel anywhere. I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t think of the warnings coming out of the media was enough to cause “hand-sanitizer” panic. Whew! But I don’t blame the people.
How bad is it really? I heard that it is simply being hyped-up, or that it’s not really going to spread as the media puts it out there. However, if you have children – would you risk it? Or, if you have elderly in your home – would you take the chance? Of course not. I should really be looking for swine flu kits where I could protect not only myself but my whole family as well. We don’t know how far this is going to go, most specially if WHO recently raised the warning to level 5 – which is only one step closer to treat the H1N1 virus as a true and global pandemic.
Thanks – it did the same for me. You are welcome.
