I guess all you can do is take what ever precautions you can and if you end up feeling like you're getting the flu, get yourself to a doctor ASAP; after all, it's better to be safe than sorry. |

I mean virus one of the smallest of organisms wouldn't get through a paper mask??? i'm, not so sure! I already wash all the time, new gloves when i canulate etc... can't do much more, just gotta hope the genral public don't panic and call us out for every cough and sniffle, but i'm betting they will! it's not going to help anything but the spread of the virus!! I just gotta hope my immune system is strong enough to cope if i come into contact with it.

Nature has a way of doing these things. Also war or disease always leave a better economy!! it takes its toll, but in the end turns it around!! we are at the start of a global rescession! Grim i know but that seems to be the way it is! hopefully i'm wrong and it will just fade out. |
