I sort of look at it like this.
If it is my time, it's my time.
I'd rather get taken out by the flu rather than take weeks to die trapped and crushed under a building that collasped. The flu sucks, but I'd had some nasty ass flus and honestly, there are far way worse ways to die. I'm fairly certain I could get some VERY nifty and effective drugs that would make the last days be out of this world if I was dying with the flu LOL! I mean what the hell - you are dying, might as well try morphine or some groovy opiate or something you'd never touch in a million years otherwise, no worries about addiction, and if you od, well you are dying *anyway*. lol. Not someone that uses drugs casually, don't even take aspirin unless it's reeeeeeeeeally bad, but it's a special ocassion so I'm sure I'd make an exception if I was totally in pain and hating life.
But in reality, I will happily take my chances with the flu. I never take antibiotics as I personally feel getting sick is your body's way of creating a better immune system. Or at least it provides that opportunity. It allows your bosy to rely on itself and take decisive action and have practice at knowing when to send out a call to arms to go to war against whatever little bugger is trying to make me ill. I stay away from antibacterial products. I have one soap that has that property as an asset in my home. Germs and bugs are a fact of life. We existed THIS long without them we have evolved to handle most stuff. Removing them only removes that daily contact with them that probably allows your body to fine tune it's immunity, chances are I've been sick but my body catches it and deals with it before the buggers duplicate so much to the point that I actually FEEL the result of them being there.
I don't do flu shots. I don't take antibiotics unless I need to and even then I stop long before I'm supposed to - I NEVER finish a prescription lol, and I tend to take less while I'm taking them than I'm supposed to. I most likely won't wear masks. Personally I think diseases like the super flus and such are Mother Earth just saying you fuckers aren't killing enough of yourselves in war or whatever, so let me help you along, we need to take oput a few billion of you. If I wind up being a part of the *clean up* so be it. I'm ready to go whenever that time is, and I look at it as the next or last adventure, either I will finally get to see what happens when humans die or I will just blink out in which case, well I won't know jack. LOL.
For the most part, I have no regrets. All I could ask and all I really want to be able to say at the end anyway. I've had a fairly decent run at things, though it's been a hard road and I've had maybe more than my share of obstacles, I've learned a lot, and I've really enjoyed and appreciated the good things as a result of the bad things.
So yeah, not bothered too much about it. I do think it will suck to see folks I kow that might die from that though. And I'd feel for folks that lost someone they loved as a result. I'm not fully cold-hearted, but I do tend to see disasters (natural and man-made) and disease as sort of a population control. I'm kind of practical that way. I tend to feel more for the survivors than I do for the dead.
