When I go to the gym CNN or FoxNews is always on the TVs. And they are always ( I mean always) talking about the latest flu statistics. With nothing else to do while on the treadmill than listen to this, my mind starts reeling off into the possibilities...
Anyone in here could have the flu and I wouldn't know it.
What if the last person on this treadmill had the flu and didn't wipe down the handles after they finished?
Yes, it's gotten bad enough hat I wipe down the machine before and after I use it.
It's not just at the gym either.
The other day I returned a movie to the RedBox and began worrying about who might have used that touch screen before I did.
Especially since the machine was right outside CVS. I could just imagine sick people stopping to get all their flu survival med and a few movies. That one had me scrambling around inside the car searching for some hand sanitizer. Ugh...
And before you even get started - yes, I know that a flu vaccine is probably a good idea. Especially with my level of paranoia. Let's just say I have some personal issues with the flu shot dating back to the year they gave us shots at work and I still ended up in bed for a week with the flu virus. It's my baggage to deal with.
In the mean time, I'm stocking up on hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and vitamin C.
I'm with you...I am not a flu shot girl. The idea of putting a virus in my body freaks me out a bit. Not to mention that many people I know who get the shot end up getting sick. No thank you!!
ReplyDeleteStay healthy Beckey any way you can I get the shot for other health reasons and when I had the care home I HAD to have the shots I have gotten the flu even with getting the shot but it was way milder than the other people I know who got it.
