Question of the week: How concerned are you about the swine flu reaching our area?
“I think it’s going to. I
have two
very good
f r i e n d s
heading to
New York
City, and
I’m sure
it’s on their
minds, and
of course
I’m thinking about it too.”
— Les Buel, retired,
Gilboa
“I’m not concerned. I
live on a
ranch in
C a l i f o r -
nia, and it
hasn’t hit
us yet. Unless
you’re
going back
and forth
to Mexico,
you’re probably not going
to get it.”
— Deron Kochis, sport
fisherman, San Diego, Calif.
“There’s been an outbreak
all
over the
country. I
mean, you
read what
the media
is saying,
and it’s big.
The big
highlight is
‘WHO’ in capital letters.
It’s definitely happening
in larger areas and even
though this area is a rural
town, you still gotta think
about it.”
— Ali Rowson, sales,
Queens
“Well, they say there
are no swine involved, but
in any case,
it doesn’t
c o n c e r n
me. We’re
in a rural
area,
where we
have fresh
air out
here. “
— Beverly Maynard, retired,
East Meredith
“I’m just not concerned.
It sounds to me
like there’s
a one-ina
- m i l l i o n
c h a n c e
that you’re
going to get
it, so I’m
not really
w o r r i e d
yet.”
— Melissa Madeo, manager,
Ocean County, N.J.
“First of all, I’m a regi
s t e r e d
nurse. I’m
in immediate
danger
if anyone
at the hospital
has
it, where
they could
pass it to
me, and then my grandkids,
so I am concerned.
It’s a pandemic now, and I
don’t think the news tells
you everything. It’s a definite
crossover from the
bird flu.”
