Swine flu


<<images[1].jpg>>


I now have a Google Alert that pops into my email inbox everytime the words "swine flu" appear anywhere just to keep me informed on what is happening around the world with this virus. In New Zealand the number of cases have crossed a 100 and now it appears we have gone past "containment" and have reached "GO TO YOUR DOCTOR ASAP IF YOU EVEN SNEEZE".  I now find my ears fine tuned to the sounds of sniffs, sneezes, coughs and throat clearing . I use our company supplied sanitized hand-rub more often than is required and everytime someone hands me something I find myself wondering how many swine flu viruses are crawling around on that object. The advertisement for Dettol spray has been instrumental in making  me visualise countless bugs on every object that is accesible to public hands . Am I obsessed with swine flu …..yes I am and so should everyone one else . This is not something to be taken lightly . Let us contain and kill this thing before it has a chance to mutate into an even deadlier version of itself .
