Easy, carry hand sanitizer. I've been using it for 18yrs...restaurants have been. They come in little bottles that are perfect for your purse.

Don't get me wrong, it should be taken serious. But I do not believe in panicking and causing drama and that is exactly what is happening and that is what I take issue with.

Here you go Stu.

I have them in my purse, gym bag, car, a big one in the house.

Info jackpot!! :) Took me a bit of digging around Google but here y'all go, in an easy-to-understnd format and from a trusted source:
CIDRAP swine flu fact sheet

Ya thats some crazy shit. Hope they get it under control quick... I dont feel like dying any time soon.

Why thank you for your Compliments

Whats bad is all this news and stuff is stressing people out and that is bad for your immune system and makes it weaker and more likely to get sick.

And yes here i am back again, Tony Katvixen and Cleo thanks on the tip of the handwash stuff:), now here is why i freaked out: i am not afraid to get the mexican (swine) Flu, as long that i know our goverment will do all to protect the people, some years ago there was an outbreak of "meningitis" (at kids) in Holland, also in other countries in Europe, only our goverment choose to wait to give out the meds because they thought it wouldnt go bad here ( even several kids died in holland already) and they found it not wise to spent millions on vaccination that time, while belgium and all countries where prepeared and did gave out the meds to protect the kids..... it was a money issue and more innocent kids died, because of the money.Btw 3 months later that time, yes the goverment decide to give the meds to the kids, for me, i got the meds myself way before the goverment gave them for free and i paid for it myself, the meds where only for the kids , i just hate the fact a goverment can play with lifes that easy.And yes i had real concerns that time, because a friend of my son had the menginites and died.
So my concern with this mexican flu was (yes was), will the goverment react the same as years ago, will it be again a money issue, is it worth to lett people die to save some money?, But now its not, last thursday the goverment told the people of holland that they are prepared and they will have 34 million doses of meds if needed, so they can even give every person in holland twice a dose to protect them. And yes we have the mexican flu ( btw "swine flu" name has bin changed offical in "mexican flu" since last wednesday late night in Holland) also in holland now and we are a very small country, i live in the middle of holland, a 2 hour drive will get me at the top of holland and the same 2 hour drive will get me on the bottom of holland:D

Yeah thats pretty close to Mexico and more imagrants and such.

Technical name is Influenza A/Mexico/2009 (H1N1) ;) or at least last time I saw an update. And I fully understand your concern. Over here in the US, the govt entitites are handling things decently, but a certain segment of the population is screaming it's a waste of money because A/Mex/09 (H1N1) is "no big deal". Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I sneezed this morning...

Well i hope you whiped your nose then, it doesnt look very pretty when you sneeze and doesnt whipe|boobies|

I always try to sneeze into one of my cat's butts. They seem to really enjoy it and their fur is great for wiping your nose.

that reminds me of a commercial showing on telly here, its shows a dog who's fur is just as soft as toiletpaper, so i keep wondering myself, why buy the toilet paper everytime, if i just use the dog and recycle his fur evertime by cleaning it, would be much cheaper:D|boobies|

I remember the meningitis scares. We used to get vaccinated for it. One of my cousins got it and survived, thankfully. But it killed a few people. Including a friend of another cousin. A few years later I was in Quebec City. I had the flu and it just happened that cases of meningitis were appearing in the city. That wasn't fun.

yep and if we are talking about the same meningitis then it was the one, transfert also from human to human.All i wanna do is protect my kids, i have only 2 kids and each one of them is a "one of a kind or do you say unique ?" (heay i may say that of my kids:D)

First - sorry to hear about the tragic event in the Netherlands the other day, Stu. Very sad and crazy. :(

Secondly, don't worry about this silly little flu.
