Unreal

When I was out taking a walk yesterday, I saw a girl with something covering her mouth. Sure, the swine flu might soon be here, even in this little backwater town, but still - It feels as if I've ended up inside some disaster movie, or in someone's worst dream. Of course, I could be wrong, but I don't think we need to worry that much. Just someone's mother overreacting. Who wouldn't be overprotective of their child? I tend to be very cautious about everything myself, but this - no, not yet. I hope I won't be proven wrong.

I actually saw someone wearing a mask today too. However, I live in the same city that saw the SARS outbreak (Toronto), so it was something I'd seen from at least a couple of people before. In any case, whenever something like this happens, people often overreact and fly into a panic. Unless you've been directly exposed, I doubt you have anything to worry about. I think it's really just a matter of trying to keep informed and using common sense.

Exactly. Just in case, I'm keeping my fingers crossed the flu won't be getting any worse.
