It doesnt seem real to believe that just Friday I was reading for the first time of a new flu virus, Swine Flu, breaking out in Mexico City. Immediately my mind raced to both the film Outbreak and 28 Days Later. It didnt help that satalite television played disaster movies most of the weekend.
By this morning as I woke up, the virus had found its way around the globe and suddenly this evening it was in the UK. With the medics predicting a Pandemic and the potential loss of upto 750,000 people in the UK alone.
All of my colleagues at work were talking about potentially buying a mask and you know I think I will too. I find it nasty enough having to take a packed train in the morning. Let alone the fact a deadly bug could be in the air. Please take note poeple, open the windows, a bit of fresh air is far better than a closed air environment like a stuffy nasty train.
The press releases today say you should wash after contact with any person and in particular after riding public transport. My team thought I was obsessive compulsive before with me ever sanitizing my hands. But if it works? Meanwhile I am stocking up on Candles and canned food. Just incase things do get worse. Still for the first time ever the press is not talking about the credit crunch and recession. Keep well my dear friends.
