sick in Yuma
Just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is in Yuma and he said a lot of people are sick with valley fever , the hospital is full and they won't let you visit for fear you will get sick too.

I have lived in the Phx area for a little over 30 yrs. 28 was working construction. I have eaten tons of dirt & dust. Been caught in hundreds of dust storms. Never had a problem. Some friends were not as lucky. We even had a player for the Diamondbacks retire @ a young age because of it. I wouldn't let fear keep me from traveling through or visiting here. I may come down with it next week but so far I'm good. You can't live in fear or in a bubble.
DON"T PANIC..........
Now there is a lot of flu going around but that is all over the country.
Thanks for the sage advice, lessons?, and life experience!.:R
It has been alluded to often in this thread and previous ones.
(along with your - "the sky is *not* falling" - conclusion)
My 91 yr old MIL never showed an ounce of PANIC when she lit up her duggies (about a pack a day) from the time she started smoking (in her 20s) until the last day of her life.
Neither did the folks I knew who went to the ash tray in the sky due to lung cancer in their early 60's.
Maybe they would still be around if they had an timely chest X-ray, and/or quit - however, maybe the "end result" would still have been the same..:@
Being informed is *NOT* PANIC ing....:S
