Serenity, my mum has been saying the same thing to me! I should wear a face mask in public in case I get swine flu!
Well, I haven't been wearing a mask. I've just been extra vigilant with hygiene, washing my hands, etc after being out in public. Avoiding other people who have coughing, sneezing, etc. I could wear a mask I suppose or not go out in public at all, but then DF has to go to work and he could bring it home with him and I'd still get it anyway.
I agree with getting any type of flu is bad and the media have just been hyping it all up and scaremongering.
