I should be ok, I won’t be hanging around any sub-arctic seals.
LOL. But stating the obvious, this virus is now in a lab, probably being tweaked under new GOFROC guidelines to obfuscate the facts and insulate the players (it worked well with fauxi).
It’s the pattern of detection in obscure, remote areas which is troubling to me (last time was in Alaska).
The last time an H1N1 variant was making its rounds (under all the hype at the time) I had an open call out for anyone sick to let me know so that I could buy them dinner and get exposed.
That offer still stands, and though there are obviously some risks, I never played the hyper sanitizing game and still only rarely wash my hands beyond the obvious (after using the restroom).
I, too, will be Ok or take as many of them with me as possible.
