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
