Flu Outbreak Going To Prevent Hauling?

[TISH1124]

^^^ Not to mention as sad as it is...All jobs are not as understanding to employees being off sick....Should they be, YES, Are they, NO! Some people don't get paid and missing a day of work can in some families mean missing paying the rent or light bill..So Sad but it's the economy we live in. Is it fair they go and infect others....absolutley not...but some employees are backed in a corner by very inadequate employee/family benefits...but they need a job to pay the bills and have to settle for a check over the benefits

Not sound too crazy but as a former CDC employee working behind the scenes I wouldn't put anything past the government.....they are capable of things far greater than you would imagine and have done some dirty things to people.... I don't think people are crazy....just cautious.....with that being said I don't think this is their doing but there are some others I dont doubt....

^^^ Oh I believe it.....it's what keeps the dollars rolling in....

I believe this. I never used to be someone who believe in conspiracies but seeing things the government does or what they fail to do for the sake of citizens - i wouldn't put anything past them.

I am annoyed that there are people around me who are irrational and uneducated about the facts and choose to believe the worst and fear the death of themselves and their families. And they want to stir up fear in us.

I am educated and will not take their nonsense.

 

[TISH1124]

Welcome to the Free World....Everywhere you go there will be Uneducated and Irrational people...It's called Life...They don't annoy me..I just ignore and keep it moving..They probably have worse thoughts about me.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I'm trying to ignore them. Hey, I think that's what they enjoy - stirring up fear, so if they are ignored, they will stop it.

Thanks.

In Queens, not too far from where I live, yikes! Glad my husband is a pharmacist.

I just had to post these for a bit of humour...

In Adelaide we have some bronze statues of pigs in our main shopping mall... and someone with a sense of humour thought they might be infected with the Swine Flu...

It's at my work place now...
Contra Costa school shut over swine flu scare

I was suppose to sub this site on Thursday until next week but now they've closed it down.

 

[TISH1124]

They have so many school closings here....Texas has had the 1st US death from the Swine Flu....a poor lil 23 month old child.....However the child had recently returned from a trip in Mexico....So Sad

It wont prevent me from hauling, but I'll be more carefull since I tend to catch every flu/respiratory thing these last years. Actually, it's been like that since I got the vaccine 2 years ago... I started catching every damn flu and it all ended up in a bronchitis

So, instead of taking the bus and subway to go to work, I walk... people tend to be gross in public transportation, and the drivers (bus) let wayyyy toooo many people enter the bus, it's a good way to catch other people's flu and disease... lolll

But I have to admit that it's a bit freaking me out...
I'm a freak because I watched too many zombies movies

The situation is very sad! My sister had contracted hepatitis A on vacation to Leon, Gto, Mexico in 2007 and she got very sick & had to be hospitalized, but recovered.

but read this today on an online newspaper article:
"The good news is, it looks like this kind of swine flu is treatable if you can get to the doctors within three to four days," as said by, Rep. Eric J.J. Massa (D), a freshman lawmaker from upstate New York.

and my response to the OP:
this (swine flu outbreak) will not prevent me from hauling, however the current economic situation in general has my hauling on HOLD.
