If I had my way I’d make health catching instead of disease. ~Robert Ingersoll
I have said before that it is scary how things can be taken from us in the blink of an eye. However when it something that we have not seen before literally tears us apart it is hard to fathom.
Every winter we have our bouts of flu and in some cases (mostly men’s) we feel like we want to die and that we will never get better. This time Swine flu is something that can cause exactly that death.
I realise some will say this is not a time to panic, but with 100 people already said to be dead and the people of Mexico are certainly suffering; the symptoms have already started to make their way to America and some parts of the UK.
It can be a frightening thing to battle against something you cannot see but that knows how to bring you down from the inside.
The problem that can generate now is mass hysteria, the second someone gets flu like symptoms it will be seen as Swine Flu. I hope it is something that can be contained and that there is the least amount of pain and suffering possible.
There is the old saying that your health is your wealth. In these times, the last thing we all need is something else that we cannot control. Let’s hope Swine flu will not continue to make the headlines, death is never good news.
