Hello everyone, haven't posted in a while but its been a hectic past
few weeks what with highschool work and also babysitting like crazy
(which is stressful enough as it is). But then it just so happens my
Mom was driving me to school yesterday and said, "You know, they are
expecting a huge flu breakout. They're going to have a whole pandemic
about it. It's supposedly really bad." And also, she said that getting
a flu shot won't help against this particular strain of the virus,
because it is newly found. This is set to be worse in the states, but I
turned on the TV last night and all I hear is.."flu outbreak has now
been transferred to Canda.."


Anyway.. I don't mean to scare people but I really need help facing
this. There's info about it here:
http://news.google.ca/news?q=expected+flu+outbreak&am p;am p;hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=nn&oi=newsr






Please visit that, read the news reports and tell me if I'm on the
wrong track or overreacting or not understanding this at all, but most
importantly: What suggestions do you have to keep healthy? It's almost
like Im thinking, "I know I can run but I can't hide from the flu
again..."


Also, one last thing: Do you get your flu shot? I was thinking about
making a poll about this, but if I don't, then can you post the answer
here? Thanks.


Take care,
