Swine Flu
scares me....more than it probably should. I have a child of 10 months and an 'underlying medical condition', which means that we're both fairly high risk. Working out statistics at the dead of night makes for scary figures and really shouldn't be entertained in this case. It's usually something that makes me feel better, but working out that if I caught swine flu and had a case bad enough to contact my doctor, then my chances of being dead would be then be 1 in 24 doesn't instil confidence. Of course this is based on a mortality of only 2 British people so far who are in the same boat as me, and that's a sample which is waaaay too small to really consider, plus we don't know if they were also otherwise ill, or how many thousands of people got swine flu and didn't feel a need to contact a doctor....I have 5 friends who have officially been told by their doctor they have had swine flu, and 3 of them didnm't even have any Tamiflu or anything...I almost wish that if we're gonna get it, lets get it over and done with before winter, or before it mnutates and gets stronger. And before it steals any more of my sleep while I punch figures all night in bed...
It scares me most because I'm not usually easily scared.......hahahahaha. I feel I've let myself down...
