| Thank you, Media for all your fearmongering. You created a continent wide panic for no good reason. People are waiting in line 24 hours a day to get a vaccine and being turned away because they are not one of the group most vulnerable: pregnant women, asthmatics, children under 5.
I am an asthmatic and I didn't wait in line for the vaccine. Why? We already had it. This is why I was so quiet on my journal this past month. It hit us. First in my head, sinuses and lungs, then it swooped around a second time and hit me in the intestines. It hit Ron hard in the lungs, but he is recovering and has not had to miss a day of work. And Alex blew it off in 2 days.
Why am I not panicking? Aside from missing a half of a shift, it was NOT THAT BAD!!! I mostly rested in the easy chair, eating light foods, lots of apples, oranges, blueberries (I recommend frozen blueberries—they are superfoods with lots of antioxidant and stuffed to the hilt with Vitamin C.)
See it's our present trend of over panicking and running to the doctor and overdoing it with the Tamiflu (do not take that unless you have the flu. Do not take it as a preemptive.) and disinfectants antibiotics that is going to produce a super virus. A drug resistant virus.
WE must let our natural immune systems handle this one. 1300 hundred people in the U.S. have died but this is out of 300,000,000 million people. A normal flu bug carries off 20,000 people annually.
Now the media, realizing the monster they have created by causing a stampede to the clinics, are trying to get people to settle down and emphasize only the most vulnerable can be taken care of. In Canada, they are turning away more people than they are treating. In the U.S. with the shrill CNN, I can't imagine.
What is it like there? Are the lines a disaster pit? Is it true some people are getting into fist fights there?
But please. Please: Don't Panic!!!
