With so many thoughts for my first post (I'll have lots to write in the future, so stay tuned), I have decided to blog about what is affecting my family the most. This week it is most definitely the "Swine Flu". Last Thursday, our schools were closed because of a potential case of the virus. My son attends a private school here, so his school followed the PCSD protocol. I can't say I blame them.
I'll admit, as a parent, I was concerned at first- maybe even a little paranoid. The hysteria the media created was unbelievable. I did not go into Park City until later that afternoon to work. As I drove into work that day, the schools were empty, and very few cars on the road. I almost thought I was in some type of movie- you know- the movies that have some disease and the whole town is shut down. As I approached my place of employment, I drove by our city park. It was packed! The skate park was filled to capacity, the volleyball and tennis courts all occupied with students and parents.
The media continues to create hysteria. The kids are going back to school tomorrow. I now have a month off. All of this makes me wonder... is it really that bad, or is it some type of agenda to make us believe it is that bad? Something to ponder...
