Swine Flu - Wash Your Hands Everyone!

1. Do you have a NEW or WORSE cough or shortness of breath?

Please put on face mask and wash your hands thoroughly with soap.

2. Are you feeling feverish?

If the answer to BOTH of these questions is YES:

Best common practice to avoid unnecessary spread: stay home if you are sick, wash your hands thoroughly and often, and do as much as possible to keep your immune system healthy and happy.

Watch your sugar and alcohol intake both of which decreases your immunity. Make sure your are getting a variety of fruits and vegetables and get enough sleep.

We've seen this before with SARS and with the Spanish flu in 1918. Everyone is a little more prepared this time. Unfortunately we don't know how swine flu will spread and what the impact globally it will have. So everyone has to do their part and stay informed!
