I guess many people nowadays are just taking the precautionary measures not to get the virus. Well in my place we have no cases yet that the virus has entered our borders. So far were clean from the virus yet. I hope it stays that way as we are allowing many foreigners from entering in our place.

I'm happy for you that it hasn't reached your area but where are you living?
Thanks for responding. Good Luck to you!

Well before I left for my trip to PR. It was only in Mexico, Texas, NY and Florida. Two weeks later it was all over the United States. I couldn't believe it. Yes if I was a reporter traveling all over I would be wearing a mask for sure. I actually thought about it on my return from PR but decided to take my chances. In fact on my last flight this man took out some piece of cloth and started wiping down the arm and chair and food tray on the plane. Well I guess you can never be to careful in this day and age.

Here in India, there is not threat as yet of the swine flu so I have not really seen anybody donning a mask for that but we have many people who regularly wear masks because of the polluted air. It’s a sad state of affairs when even children have to go to school daily with their masks on, but that’s the situation here in some places.

I'm sorry to hear that the air is so polluted there and the children have to wear mask to school. I didn't know that about India. Thank you for responding and have a good day.

I hope its goin to be over soon. However I heard that in NYC they have closed 3 more schools. It's really scary. I just wash my hands as much as possible especially when I go out to a public place. You never can wash your hands to much. Good Health and Good Luck!
