It honestly doesn't help that news on the influenza virus seems to be reported in a worse light every single passing day, and just the news tonight dedicated the first 12 min reporting on how 'dire' the 'pandemic' is, with the next 8 min reporting how each sector of the community is coping with this flu virus apocalypse. And how ironic it is when during the break came a primer for a show addressing excessive compulsive disorder.
I know this is just like any other seasonal flu virus, which already kills thousands every year, but neither do I want to be the one bringing the virus in. I am pretty certain Maryland is going to get a confirmed case within the next month, with over 30 states in US having that figure presently. So now I have to make the decision in deciding whether this trip is sufficiently 'essential' for me to fly over. Man, this sucks big time, and I feel dumb, worried, irrational, emotional and unreasonable at the same time.
