I want to thank all of my friends for their prayers and keep us in your thoughts. Here is my take on the H1N1 situation.
After doing everything in my power to keep us well, and not bring home this little souvenir, I have come to the firm conclusion that there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves from H1N1, short of staying locked in our homes not letting anyone in or out. I took several bottles of hand sanitizer, Lysol spray, Lysol wipes, and hand wipes with us. We have been taking multi- vitamins, vitamin C and Omega 3 to try and boost our immune systems. We even took them while at Disney. Now, wait I need to correct that, Dallas and I have been taking all of these, NOT Dale. I have always pushed hand washing because I know that is the best defense against getting sick or spreading sickness. I sprayed down everything in the room and wiped down what I couldn't spray. We went through 2 bottles of hand sanitizer along with the hand wipes and hand washing. I wiped down several of the CS tables we sat at to make sure they were clean. All of that is now a mote point, of course, since Dallas and I both got H1N1. And this is why........There were people coughing and sneezing all around us and not bothering to cover, or better yet, stay away from the parks. Of course you are in close proximity to other people on the rides, monorails, buses, waiting on line, during shows, in restaurants, pretty much everywhere you go at Disney. Right? Here are the facts. A sneeze can travel at the speed of 100 mph and the droplets can spread in a radius of up to 5 feet. The H1N1 virus can live on a hard surface for up to 8 hours. There is really no way to keep our hands totally clean and sanitized without wearing gloves.
Example: You go take a potty break and afterwords you wash your hands. If you do it correctly you go ahead and dispense your paper towel before you wash. It is good that Disney has motion sensor water taps so you don't have to turn the water off. So you scrub your hands while singing Happy Birthday, or about 15 seconds. You tear off your towel, drying your hands well and throw the towel in the trash then head for the door
THE DOOR, OH NO, now my hands are contaminated AGAIN. The door handles in and out of a bathroom are actually where the most germs can be found.
I hate to say this, but it is the inconsiderate, rude, nasty, uncaring people who don't care if they infect others or not. That is how things like H1N1 are spread so rampant. I know a Disney trip is expensive and I know people want to squeeze every last penny out of their trip, but not at the expense of others. People are dying from H1N1 and it is hitting our children harder than any other age group. Is there anything Disney can do about sick people in the parks? NO, and it isn't their place to enforce common decency. I personally was closed up on Mission Space with a family that showed no concern for me. The Mom and daughter(looked about 13) were sneezing and not covering. They were too interested in pushing the buttons for our "mission". I hope I'm not stepping on any toes as that is not my intentions. My friends know me and they know my intentions are to educate and inform not to anger.
Anybody that has a trip coming up, I say GO have fun and hopefully you will not get sick and if you do, for the sake of someones child, PLEASE stay in your room.
OK, I will step off this soapbox now.

. It really does hit fast and when it hits it packs a punch. I am feeling worse today, so I guess I will go to the doctor tomorrow.
