Swine Flu???

My eyes are watering, my throat hurts a little, and I have a curly tail...should I be worried?
Seriously this swine flu thing, aka H1N1 virus has me a little worried! I've been watching the news and reading the paper and I'm really concerned about our safety. Thank goodness I don't have school aged children or else I'd really be freaking out. But still, I don't want any of my loved ones to catch this thing. My youngest sons girlfriend is still in high school and she comes straight over to our house when she gets out of school. Can she bring it to us? I kind of wish they'd close her school district just to be safe. Her school borders the Fort Worth School district that closed every school down for almost 2 weeks. I don't think that virus avoids crossing borders or won't avoid jumping from school district to school district. Some people think that the Health Dept is jumping the gun by closing schools and canceling large events in the area, but I think they are just trying to nip this fast moving virus in the bud. If people keep congregating and continue passing it around, hundreds of people could die. I think It's better to be safe than sorry. So I hope everybody pays attention to the news and does what they advise. Lets stop this thing NOW!
