The flu is very widespread. Anytime you are in such a large gathering, you have chances of catching whatever people bring with them!! There are people there from all around the globe, some maybe in various stages of the flu, and some maybe not even be aware of getting it
yet, but already contagious.
You can also pick it up at the grocery, Dr.'s office, or basically anywhere you go. The main thing you can do is wash hands often, keep hands away from face (which is next to impossible with littles) and use hand gel.
Not sure where you live, but by the end of Dec. the CDC said that flu was widespread in 36 states - lots more by now!!
What you shouldn't do is be so scared that you try to quit 'living' your normal life. We can't control everything unfortunately. Just do your best and carry on!!
Ok, see now that you said you were 30min. away - from Disney, I presume. It is widespread in FL.
yep, trying to keep on keeping on! nervous, but realize we could catch it anywhere.
