I’ve been trying to stay calm about the H1N1 aka Swine Flu, but now with new cases in Georgia—is it getting better or worse? Is it really just another type of flu? Or is it like the Captain Trips flu in Stephen King’s The Stand and if so—which side will I choose—Randall Flagg or Mother Abagail? Well, we all know how it turned it in Las Vegas…anyway, I digress.

The CDC claims this flu is not at pandemic status—yet. I’m not sure if seeing the deputy director in a press conference wearing her full military outfit (what branch is that?) makes me feel at ease either.

All of a sudden at work, there is hand sanitizer everywhere and when someone coughs or sneezes, people actually wince. Probably not a good time for a team building exercise.

Either way, I figure the best thing for me to do is keep my immune system up. I’ll continue to wash my hands frequently and try not to touch my face and nose. Plus, I’ll continue to take my Vitamin C, zinc, and lysine and keep it moving.

Hmm…better yet maybe I could just work from home. Wearing a mask and my PJs.
