 :sad1:Last week, I was bitten by a brown recluse spider, and I had to go to the emergency room for treatment... IT WAS FULL OF SICK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!{ironic} I live in California, and we are all afraid here. I came down with the flu 3 days ago, because I am SURE I caught it in the hospital when I went for treatment for my spider bite!!!! I am staying home, and NOT going back to the emergency room, because I don't want to spread it the way I got it!!!!!! I think it is just the regular flu though, which is good,, but I don't know how you can tell without a test for it.

I am sooo scared of Swine flu! Every time I sneeze it scares me to death.  And I use purell or wash my hands every four seconds.

The strain we have up here isn't as bad as the one in Mexico, but all the same, I'm using hand sanitizer in my classroom, and I encourage my students to use it, too.

two cases here in our county. all surrounding counties also are reporting cases and i live up near the adirondacks in NY. A little scared. we live in a farming community that is worked by migrant workers...from Mexico. I keep drilling my kids about social distancing, hand washing, and not touching their faces while at school.

We have one confirmed case in Phoenix. An elementary school is closed for a week.

I think the government needs to be educating people instead of get everyone in a scared frenzy.

There are two cases confirmed in colorado yesterday one being a baggage handler at Denver International Airport. I am a little worried about it but not going to get paranoid. Me and my family are definitely taking the precautions though washing our hands constantly and hand sanitizer it is better to be safe then sorry

Where I live there are a few - very few - people freaking out over the H1N1 thing. . .not many though. Mostly they ignore it. Strangely enough the KIDS are causing more trouble than the adults in my town because they've heard about the 'swine flu' on TV. Whatever.
