Swine Flu?

Well at least it takes the focus off the recession for a while.

This poor 14 year old kid and his mother got off the plane from Mexico this morning. He had flu like symptoms for the past 48 hours. At the airport waiting for him was a camera crew and reporter.......... if he and his mother were concerned before, they must be absolutely terrified now!!!!! after having a bloody camera shoved in his face in the arrivals lounge.

Aren't they a bunch of pushy, overbearing wankers???

Being a nurse and having gone through the period of SARS epidemic here in Toronto, I can thoroughly tell you that this is a real concern and should be taken seriously. It is scary for the public, but being a health care worker especially in the Emergency department, it is a freakin nightmare!!! And scary as hell!! Anyone that even coughs in the hospital as of last week, we are to screen all of our patients and even the staff that have been to mexico in the last two week period are potential carrierss they are all very thoroughly and questioned!!

They have been on alert of a pandemic for some time now in the medical field, they were expecting it and now it has arrived!

WASH YOUR HANDS PEOPLE...after everything!!! I cannot stress it enough! Like the flu this is an airborne virus...This virus stays alive on everything!! Make sure your kids wash their hands...it all comes down to awareness and education of the public!

Hopefully they will be able to contain it and it will disappear like SARS did...I dread having to work in those conditions again! I pray it does not come to that! It was HELL!

OH FUCK AIDS IS AIRBORNE!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY TRANSMITTED SEXUALLY!


hang on, wrong virus...
