I remember the days when a cold was a cold and there was no greater threat health wise than the chicken pox. Those days are obviously long gone and far behind us. With a surge of these \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and improved viruses (sorry let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s use the catch phrase \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mutations\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c nice isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it) \u00c2\u00a0Can I say right here and now that I believe that, yes the media has informed us of the H1N1 virus but in my opinion they have moved away beyond the point of informing and have gone to the point where they are in part creating and spreading a sense of fear and panic. Every news cycle 4 to 6 times a day on T.V in the new papers we are getting bombarded by the dreaded facts about the H1N1 virus. Thanks to this, if anyone thought that the ER\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and doctors were already busy and overworked well that ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t nothing now. Everyone is so unsure and scared about this that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re running to the doctor with every sneeze and sniffle. Can you blame them? Yes. I can. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not saying don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be cautions, of course take precautions but people lets get a grip. \u00c2\u00a0I know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to separate all the info being thrown at us but not every sneeze or cough is a cause to run to the doctor because not every sneeze and sniffle is the H1N1 virus. Lets face it – in the world in which we live there are dangers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some fatal \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some not so much \u00e2\u20ac\u201c take precautions but don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t live in fear and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t teach your children to live in fear – we have come to rely on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153magic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d pill \u00e2\u20ac\u201c antibiotics \u00e2\u20ac\u201c face facts there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only so much foreign materials our bodies and ingest before they become immune to it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s effects, why do you think they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re always coming out with NEW STONGER drugs \u00e2\u20ac\u201c everyone is taking too many magic pills for the common cold and sniffle, parents are afraid to let children be children \u00e2\u20ac\u201c of letting their child \u00e2\u20ac\u0153get\u00e2\u20ac\u009d anything \u00e2\u20ac\u201c NEWS FLASH \u00e2\u20ac\u201c if you try to block your child from every thing how can they build up immunity to anything? So I say again \u00e2\u20ac\u201c let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all get a grip \u00e2\u20ac\u201c take precautions but don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t run to the doctor with every sneeze and sniffle.<\/p>\n
