Totally agree FC. Twice in the last few weeks I have overheard conversations between parents regarding an illness their child has. One was at a popular tourist attraction, talking about their son, who was with them, who had a cough and sniffle. Another was at a childrens playground packed with kids- a mother was telling her friend about the rash her daughter had broken out in that morning and actually got her to lift her shirt to get the friend's opinion. I was gobsmacked.
But I have to confess, before I worked in a hospital I rarely washed my hands and had no idea about infection control. When I look at myself then, as a member of the general public with little knowledge about serious illness and infestious diseases, it's no wonder this flu (like most others) has spread so quickly. people maintain a general ignorance about their safety and hygeine and that of others.
Nai thinking of you my love... I hope your little one is feeling better soon. I know you must feel awful about those that you came into contact with - but you had no way of knowing. Just hope and pray that those that he came into contact with will be spared...
