PANDEMIC REAL OR DRAMA ?

Personally I don't believe that the swine flu is a pandemic ... I think it's fear that's causing people to panic more than anything else.
The media is spreading fear for news sake....I saw somebody react to the fact that Sanjay Guptha and Anderson Cooper have gone to Mexico. Why shouldn`t they go ? It's news...... and they are covering FLU. They look like 2 strong guys to me so I don`t think they have compromised immune systems therefore I`m sure they will be fine.
Suppose I wanted to spread Abundance and Joy like a pandemic... no way would I be able to do it ....... I'm afraid it's not as easy to spread joy as it is to spread fear.
People instead of spreading panic why not tell your friends that if they eat properly and build their immune systems they have NOTHING to fear!
Swine flu is just another form of the flu that is highly contagious. Avoid people who are coughing, wash your hands for 2 full minutes top and bottom and between fingers, cover your mouth when you cough. If you get the flu there are 2 drugs that will take care of it so call your doctor within 48 hours and stay away from the emergency room as that's how it spreads. Go to your bed drink lots of fluids and rest while taking your meds.
With all the things we deal with on a day to day basis such as stress, fear, excitement, bad food, anger, sorrow, pollution,recession, job losses, and layoffs, now add a flu scare and we are fit to be tied. It is touching every corner of life, and when it hits family and friends it's very difficult not to feel the fear and despair spreading.Let's take the proper precautions but also try and lighten up a bit like the Jamaica Observer's cartoonist Clovis ....
Awareness is also the key, be aware of the presence of fear,depression and despair. We have to be aware of these things to change them. Awareness of fear dissolves IT.
Knowing the facts also dissolves fear.....
NOW MORE THAN EVER WE NEED TO LIVE IN THE NOW......IF WE STOP GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE DRAMA WE WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING ON AROUND US IS NOT REAL!
