The whole swine flu issue and vaccination has me thinking. I am not totally opposed to vaccinations, that being said a new vaccine that is essentially not tested throughtly just really dosent seem right to me.
Im am very particular during flu season but Im thinking Im going to have to step it up a bit. Here are some of the things we do and what I might have to do if it truly becomes epidemic around my parts.
1. we wash hands all the time. We do use hand sanitizer if we are out in public often. Followed by vigourous hand washing when we get home.
2. taht being said I normally limit the kids unnecessay outings during the height of it. I do not take my kids out sick even if its a cold, especially DS since he goes to various therapists/specialists and that would be exposing other SN childrens to what he has. I wished others would do the same.
3. DH immediately takes a bath upon coming home. He is also a hand washing fool so I dont have to preach to him about that
He also has no shame to voice his opionion about people coming to work sick.
4.I have come to terms that I may have "bunker down home" if necessary if it really hits like they are projecting. I have begun stocking up on some essentials to limit my outings as well
Now that being said im not panicing but realizing that if it does become bad I dont want to have to be out there if I dont absolutely have to. Waht are some other things you guys are thinking about doing?
