swine flu...are you scared?

i think i'm a bit of a hypochondriac because i feel a cold coming on, but it could just be my allergies. however, the real reason for this post is...


is anyone else getting freaking out about swine flu ? i'm a pretty paranoid and anxious person naturally, without a flu that's killing people (first US person died today...a boy from texas, eek!) to freak me out even more. I feel like I shouldn't be that worried...but seriously, i'm from new jersey, we have 5 possible cases here that haven't been confirmed, and then i have NYC 15 minutes away with cases there too. i think i will quarantine myself when the semester ends! How do you all feel about this outbreak?

People infected with swine flu are living in the next village (in England) and although I'm concerned, I'm not worried. Selling face masks would be a money spinner though because some people do like to go a bit dooo-lally and panic!!!

I'm actually not. Maybe it's my inner-nurse-to-be! lol {If that even makes sense!} Just don't touch people, shake hands, etc and wash your hands all the tme! =] You'll be fine, don't worry about it.

it really does suck...i just got back from the store because i wanted to get a quick fruit bowl at the foodstore.but when i got home, i realized the fruit was packaged in mexico...so i put it back into my fridge, i'm too paranoid to take any chances right now! i know i'm overreacting, but i'm just a little paranoid about the whole thing.
