Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
Posted by Merf99
I'm not too concerned at home, but we're going to Cancun a month from tomorrow. That's whats making me worried. DH thinks I'm overreacting and just tells me we;ll deal with it as it gets closer. I'm kinda nervous.
DH was thinking that this was being blown out of proportion by the press. This morning when I spoke to my mom, she said that she heard that they might close the borders to Mexico. That's when I suggested to DH for his parents not to come over for a week when they come back. He changed his tune and agreed with me. Even if they stayed in the resort the entire time, who knows if the passengers on board the plane are carrying the virus?

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
Honestly, I am not concerned and my DH is an EMT and deals with sick people everyday.
Honestly, people think that some of these diseases have vanished, they have not. My DH sees measles, etc, A LOT.
I just feel like you can't live your life in a bubble, of course I do not want my child to get sick, and I wouldn't put him at risk, but I can't worry about things that the media seems to be blowing out of proportion.

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
Honestly, yes but only because DS's daycare is about a mile from Prep. Our concern is if any of the parents of the kids in the center work there, which I'll address tonight when we pick up DS. If it weren't for those 28 confirmed cases potentially hitting so close to home with DS, I'd look at this as yet another sensationalist health story.

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
yes im worried because I have a young child and so far most of the cases have been teenagers that have done well.. The reason I am worried is that the regular flu kills so many but you barely hear about it.. This flu is so unknown and even though the media is making a big deal...I personally feel there may be reason for concern.. I just wish it would go AWAY!!!

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
I'm not too concerned. The media is making such a huge deal out of this. I think it is more likely that we will be in a car accident.

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
Not concerned for our immediate care or safety from it. I feel ok...but VERY concerned about the global impact yes. The media does play things up and is running rampade with this, but anyone woule be naive to think that they cannot be affected. So I guess concerned is a better word, not worried.....And mostly b/c i have a child whom the Flu is so harmful to vs. any fear of myself catching it kwim??

Re: Anyone else worried about the swine flu?
I am the worst when it comes to germs, I get nervous when things go around my son's class. This is sending me into a panic. Not so much for me, but for my son, who has bad asthma and my baby she is only 5 months. At my son's school, one mother took her son out for a few days! They are cleaning the kids hands as much as possible and using purell. My huband is a fireman and only has to work another tour before he goes on vacation. Thank god too because between having to do EMS runs and then just being in such close quarters with so many people... (i thank the firehouse for spreading that bad stomach bug to us a few months ago)
I am trying hard not to live in the bubble i so much want to crawl into.
