i am not going to get it. The vaccine scares me more than the flu. I am sanitizing my hands and bleach wiping everything. So hopefully I can stay well.

bleach sounds like a good idea.. but isn't it harmful to birds?

I personally am not getting it because I still haven't gotten my flu shot yet (procrastinating), but my kids are here soon. I was leary about it at first but after talking with our awesome pediatrician we are getting it for the kids. And I believe this specific strand of flu can be transmitted to animals and that is when it becomes and even bigger problem than it already is. It morphes and changes and then the animal can give the new flu to you.

Nope. I've been told last time they came out with a 'vaccine' for swine flu that went around like 50ish years ago, the vaccine killed more people then the flu... don't know how true that is but I'm taking my chances.

After I came back from Nicaragua, half the team (10+ people) came down with swine flu. I was in the same dorms with them for 10 days and on the same flight with them...

honestly after that I'm not too worried.
