[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 268609, member: 6479"] Oh, of course. I'm not saying don't be concerned. I'm not complaining about watchful moms. :) I'm complaining about watchful moms telling me to use Lysol on my hands. Hahaha. The misinformation, the unsupported hysteria - that's the stuff I'm talking about. People running out to buy masks, when they offer little to no protection at all, but no one bothers to actually CHECK this stuff out before they run around like a chicken with their head cut off. Geh! But as of this date, there is no PROOF that this is anything worse than a nasty flu bug. Anyone remember the, what, Hong Kong flu of 1994-1995? I was knocked out for two weeks with that one, lost 15lbs right before I started high school! (which wasn't so bad, really!:raspberry-tounge:) Or the Asian Bird Flu? I'm just saying it's all a little out of proportion. Pandemic means massive infection, not necessarily one causing death. WHO's warnings aren't out of line - because "Level 5" warnings just mean there's a chance it could get dicey. Not that it is dicey. [/QUOTE]
