China is a VERY closed society, so anything out of there is suspect.
My family has always very big on "family stories", so I know quite a lot about everyday life, diseases, funny stories, and such about many different generations of them; both when they were here in America and before they emigrated. It was really great way to learn about not just my family, but also factual history.
When my grandmother told me about when my mother had had Whooping Cough ( which by that time there was a vaccine against anyone getting it again )it was without any hysterics.Maybe that's one reason why I don't go all "freaked out" about this new kind of flu. Oh and I damned near died from the Asian Flu ( and never have had ANY flu ever again and can't get the flu shot due to an allergy ), so that's another reason, I guess.
Thanks for the comments.
I’ve never gotten the shots either.
I hardly ever get sick and I just don’t bother.
There’s nothing wrong with getting sick once in a while.
It’s normal.
