personally, i’m not horribly paranoid about it, but i am really scared. people that don’t have health insurance do have reason to be neurotic, because if they do contract it and it does get bad, i doubt that the meds for it are very affordable. also, apparently a school near me had a case of it, and didn’t let anyone know until it came out, and then closed the school. so. i don’t know, people are going to be scared, and they have reason to be. i think learning about it lessens the fear a bit though.
