My ex is one of those type who follows all of this stuff very closely.
I agree with Luke to a certain extent. I figure it's only a matter of time until something really horrible sweeps through our population (again) and that there really isn't much we can do about it.
I HOPE (of course) that this one isn't 'the big one'. There is some discussion that all of the media attention is an attempt to validate all of those Tamiflu purchases our country invested in, since it turned out worthless against the whole Avian bit. It is supposedly far less severe in the US than in in Mexico (the theory being that Americans have partial immunity to the mixed strain, due to the flu vaccines). I don't know, I just know that I don't want my baby to get sick and potentially die. It's a mother's curse to worry constantly about their little ones.
