In light of all the recent news concerning the Swine Flu, lots of folks are asking whether this is “real” or just “hype”. Either way you spin it, one thing becomes evident… People have a great fear of the unknown. Case in point is my daughter’s elementary school which is closed this week because of one confirmed case of influenza-A in a first grader. While I understand the reason to be cautious, this is akin to closing school for a snow day at the sign of the first snowflake. Soccer games, ballet, and other activities will likely continue… and some parents may need to either miss work or make other arrangements. So, can we believe the hype that we hear in the media or should we be less reactionary? Your thoughts… Talk amongst yourselves.
