Anything can be blown out of proportion with fear or just skewed.<br />And even when I try not to be taken by all the hype, it still has an effect! I find myself a little bit more nervous if someone is coughing around me, etc. Gotta get a grip, y'know. <br />Thanks. It's great to hear from you.Cilantrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293358461490145982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987803100430151978.post-6097924364353833852009-05-04T08:03:00.000+03:002009-05-04T08:03:00.000+03:00Chaya, thanks for your sensible, balanced approach...Chaya, thanks for your sensible, balanced approach to this subject.<br /><br />There's much we don't know about this virus. For example: why has there been deaths in Mexico, but not in the United States where most of the case have been relatively mild, most not requiring medication, or hospital stay?<br /><br />Each flu season I'm told many thousand die in the U.S., but most of these that die are those with existing health problems, the elderly, or the very young who haven't as yet built up immunities to some viruses.<br /><br />I agree: the media has performed poorly, and are contributing to some of the mass hysteria that we're now seeing.<br /><br />Many here in the states are buying up Tamiflu, for example.<br /><br />You wrote: "and G-d save us from our true enemies..."<br /><br />One of those enemies is fear. Fear will do more to spread this disease than the disease itself.<br /><br />One of the things that I'm doing to minimize the spread of this virus is to refuse to allow myself to be overtaken with fear.<br /><br />I take commonsense precautions, eat properly, and wash my hands often, especially if I've been out in the public.<br /><br />But fear? That's the worst thing that I or anyone else can do. "The thing that I have most feared has come upon me," said Job to best of my recollection.<br /><br />Thanks again for the information, and the links.
