Ok I’m the first to admit I can at times be, well lets just say a little paranoid. Maybe even a hypochondriac.
That said I also hate how the media likes to over sensationalize everything and make things seem to be almost pandemic. I can’t turn on the t.v. or open a web page with out seeing at least 5 or 6 stories about the swine flu and “professionals” adding their 2 cents to the situation.
I feel bad for the families who have lost loved ones in other countries but I just can’t bring myself to get worked up and worried over the swine flu story at the moment. Maybe it’s a matter of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” because of the scares in the past. I just can’t seem to believe what I see or read on the news anymore. We’ve been told over and over again “we are all going to die!!!” over the bird flu, killer bees and many other “stories” and they have all died down or gone away.
So for now I’m just going to do what I have always done and keep washing my hands, try to stay away from anyone that sick and not think about it. Oh and maybe I’ll stay away from the news for a few days just to keep my sanity. And hopefully this is just another ‘news story’ and if not……..well I’ll worry about that then.
So everyone out there in cyber world: stay safe, healthy and sane!
