Flu Prevention Steps

Obama declares swine flu national emergency

the following is just my personal opinion (shared by many others) but feel free to ignore it. I think this entire thing is just a bunch of hype! I think that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to get the Prez to declare this "emergency" to help boost their sales. Why? Because I know several people who have already had the H1N1 flu and it wasn't any worse than a regular case of the flu. In fact their doctors are telling them to stay home!

As part of the hype I was recently asked to share with you the following Flu Prevention Steps.

People should take simple steps to help prevent the spread of the seasonal and H1N1 flu viruses in their homes:

· Wash Hands Frequently: Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice).
· Disinfect Germ Hot Spots: Disinfect the surfaces kids touch most frequently – like doorknobs, faucets or plastic toys.
· Do the Elbow Cough: Cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands to help prevent the spread of germs from touch.
· Follow Good Health Guidelines: Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep to help boost your body’s ability to fight the effects of colds and the flu.

I'm happy to share this part with you...there is a part that I edited out because I don't feel like posting it. I know you can find what I edited out on the web. :D

I sincerely hope that you don't get the flu. and if you do get the flu that you recover from it quickly and don't share your germs with anyone else. Take care!

  1. I remember when all the drama first occured back in like April or something. I was thinking then that maybe we should all just follow regular "stay healthy" advice. Hopefully that works!

  3. We know that prevention is better than cure, that's the statement we want to know even before. I can't help to see those patient..I want to help them but I couldn't , first I am not a doctor and they are quarantine.We must be ready and take good care of our self ...having sickness I stay at home and do some stuff like this Zhu Zhu Pets aka Go Go Pets Hamster Carrier Bed and Two Blankets PinkandPurple .

  4. Also, don't bob for apples. Don't ever bob for apples.

    Might as well open your mouth and let someone cough right into it.
