H1N1 Panic

Why do they do that? Canadian health experts and the government gets everyone into a panic over getting the H1N1 Virus vaccination, then they are shocked when thousands line up to get theirs, and then they say they don't have enough! My family and I can't even get ours yet because we're not in the "high risk" category. They then say that the virus isn't as bad as everyone is saying but now I just read an article on MSN.ca saying that experts say it'll only get worse.

"As delivery of H1N1 vaccine to the provinces ramps up this week after an unfortunate slowdown, some public health officials are warning that Canadians shouldn't decide they can do without vaccine just because they've made it this far without a shot."

Well, hopefully my family and I don't get it. Some of my older siblings managed to get the shots on the first day but we weren't so lucky. The good thing is, those of us at home usually don't go out and do things with other people and we wash our hands more often than most (like after using the washroom--which I can't understand why there are people who DON'T).

Well, that's all I wanted to say. Thoughts? Comment!
