I don't look at all this in fear. I think what's happening in this forum is great and I don't think anybody is trying to instill fear. I've known something was coming for a very long time just didn't know what it was going to be.
The thing is, knowledge is power and the more knowledge we have the more prepared we will be. I'm learning about steps to take regarding protecting ones self from the flu that I didn't know before so I very much appreciate all these posts.
For me there is no fear because I already know the outcome I just don't know the order of things to come so I don't look at it as being paranoid I look at it as being prepared with strength and calm assurance not fear.
My wish is that others will be prepared, having all the knowledge and power they are able to acquire before we have to get our pea shooters out LOL. I agree with you there.
