			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok I&#8217;m the first to admit I can at times be, well lets just say a little paranoid. Maybe even a hypochondriac.<br />
That said I also hate how the media likes to over sensationalize everything and make things seem to be almost pandemic. I can&#8217;t turn on the t.v. or open a web page with out seeing at least 5 or 6 stories about the swine flu and &#8220;professionals&#8221; adding their 2 cents to the situation. </p>
<p>I feel bad for the families who have lost loved ones in other countries but I just can&#8217;t bring myself to get worked up and worried over the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/28/swine.flu/index.html">swine flu</a> story at the moment. Maybe it&#8217;s a matter of &#8220;The Boy Who Cried Wolf&#8221; because of the scares in the past. I just can&#8217;t seem to believe what I see or read on the news anymore. We&#8217;ve been told over and over again &#8220;we are all going to die!!!&#8221; over the bird flu, killer bees and many other &#8220;stories&#8221; and they have all died down or gone away.</p>
<p>So for now I&#8217;m just going to do what I have always done and keep washing my hands, try to stay away from anyone that sick and not think about it. Oh and maybe I&#8217;ll stay away from the news for a few days just to keep my sanity. And hopefully this is just another &#8216;news story&#8217; and if not&#8230;&#8230;..well I&#8217;ll worry about that then.</p>
<p>So everyone out there in cyber world: stay safe, healthy and sane! </p>
