A lot more people will have to die from it before I even stop changing the TV channel whenever it's mentioned. Anyone that is actually afraid of it has just ignored common sense and succumbed to the mass hysteria.

I haven't followed up to see if there are, in fact, confirmed cases here). So I've gotten a little bit more concerned. ... Dug up a small bottle of hand sanitiser to keep in my bag, ostensibly to use after emerging from the El, or from the place I volunteer at. Of course, I've forgotten every time, LoL! I'll only freak out if I see a whole bunch of people starting to wear those masks in public. :p I was looking at it in a very detached manner,,, until I heard that a probable case had been detected in Chicago (later, I heard the number is up to 9 suspected cases … I haven’t followed up to see if there are, in fact, confirmed cases here).

It is a political side event to detractt form the recession - You won't be surprised by that I don't think. There should be more concern about AIDS and smoking as killers. Take care Hi A in B,

I think it is a storm in a teacup, it will be all forgotten about in a few weeks. It is a political side event to detractt form the recession – You won’t be surprised by that I don’t think.

There should be more concern about AIDS and smoking as killers.

Take care

It hasn't even reached pandemic status yet but when I went to the store yesterday they had completely sold out of hand sanitizer, face masks and green tea! (Yes I was trying to buy all three!!) I say stay in your village, duct tape yourself in, and enjoy your pork chops! I’m a Brit living in LA – FAR too close to the Mexican border for my liking.
