I've been trying to avoid all the mass panic, which hasn't been too hard since I'm not easily encited to follow any stampeding herd.
And yes, I know it's real and that it can be deadly, but... I still can't help thinking of H1N1 some sort of fad. A nasty, potentially lethal, very contagious fad that nobody wants to follow but still is obsessed with.
But...
My husband tells me that our realtor whom we met with on Friday called to say she just found out she was with H1N1-infected people on Thursday, and that we should look for signs just in case it was pased along.
(confession: I semi-tweaked out because I still have a residual cough from a chest cold thing I fought off over a week ago, and this swine flu is a respiratory deal.)
The possible contagion was four days ago, so far no one in my house has starting coughing (anew) or gotten a runny nose... should I still run out and get one of those germ-blocker masks like this?
