FJ said...we're expecting in august, and we've been through a lot...screening tests that come back needing further review, a nephew that had Fifth's Disease, and now my wife is worried about Swine Flu. I'm sick of worrying & we're finally enjoying this pregnancy, so I'm not going to worry about Swine Flu until it saunters on up to our doorstep. I like the quote about a health emergency vs. a thin line...etc. This is not a health emergency yet. This is media sensationalism...I understand we have some confirmed cases and even a death or two on our hands thus far, but people die all the time, every day, and we never hear about it. Bird flu was the same thing, everything though that would spread like wildfire. Let's be level headed and worry about our families before we worry about what may or may not harm them!
