[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2305329, member: 451727"] Therein lies one of the issues I think. Those people that are retired and perfectly healthy and living in an area were it would be difficult to catch it clearly are not expected or perceived to be a 'victim'. On the other hand there are those who DO have underlying health conditions, ARE at work and DO live in areas where you are more likely to catch it so they are obviously going to be more concerned and more likely to avidly watch the reports/news/figures coming out and worry more about it. After all, it's all they have to go on. All personal opinions are valid but with something like this anyone's opinion will always be relative to THEIR perceived risk. Bit like insurance really. I fall into the latter 3 categories, am I more likely to catch it than you?, yes, am I more likely to suffer complications than you would? I think so but that's not to say I WILL catch it....especially when I take reasonable precautions to avoid it. [/QUOTE]
