Wow! It is scary isn't it? 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.

None i can take really!! i mean we have paper suits and paper face masks etc on the motors incase we suspect it, had it on since bird flu, but to be honest it would be to little to late if we did suspect!!  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.

The thing is the authorities think this is going to be big! the press hype everything up i know, but it will claim a few lives! its a delicate subject, and not really what people want to face, but it will claim the ill, weak and old, and the saddest of all, the very young, but it will 'cull' the population a little, the biggest burdens on society, people who don't give to society, I know its not their fault and not fair, and i'm sure it will claim others too, but in the main it will be who i've said.  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.
