i'm about to leave Europe to Los Angeles and everyone here said please don't bring the Swine Flu back . Each single person who said that i wanted to reply '' please s... up '' .

Anyway does Californians has started to wear masks overthere ?

I'm not going to worry about it until I get sick. What would be the point?

Ken said that his Target completely sold out of hand sanitizer yesterday. :rolleyes:

I should have bought stock in Purel.

I wonder if people will stockpile plastic sheeting and duct tape again too.

Good, I hope they use their hand sanitizer and the virus become immune to it soon. It is WAY better to throw anti-bacterials around than do something about your own immune system.:rolleyes:

Why eat healthy, get proper sleep, and exercise a little when you can just buy a bottle goo for your hands? ;)

I can't wait for more pharmacy stories while this freak-out is going on. :D

I think Euro mentioned seeing masks on the train.

But up here in the San Francisco area I have yet to see a single one (on the train or elsewhere).

Granted I haven't been to LA really, but I haven't seen anybody in masks here. I for one refuse to panic. There are only a few cases, and the odds are against any particular individual being infected. Wash your hands and don't touch your face. you'll be fine.

I guess I can understand the hand sanitizer; it's quicker than trying to build up your immune system. People need to be doing the immune thing, but I guess the goo is a short-term solution.

Tonight's pharmacy story:
  • 144 large bottles of hand sanitizer, now out-of-stock again
  • surgical masks out-of-stock since Monday

Crazy customers asked about the above products in en masse all day long.

alphabassettgrrl 04-29-2009 08:05 PM

Yeah, the crazy, panicky part is overkill. Kind of like looking at a grocery store for bottled water after an earthquake.

l saw some people wearing them at LAX.
