Protect your Love Ones

I just read the news about the swine flu that has been fast-spreading globally. This is the health crisis that we are currently facing. The Geneva-based World Health Organization raises swine flu alert level as virus spreads. In Mexico, where the flu is believed to have originated, officials said Wednesday the disease is now confirmed or suspected in 159 deaths, and nearly 2,500 illnesses. Swine Influenza or Swine Flu receives its name from the host it is most likely to inhabit. This particular strain of influenza virus typically affects swine (pigs) and has been known to cross infect humans who work closely with both swine and poultry – especially those who have concentrated exposure. This Pandemic has circled the globe at a fast and frenzied pace. We should protect ourselves and family from this virus takes commonsense precautions. Cover your coughs and sneezes, with a tissue that you throw away or by sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand. Wash hands frequently; if soap and water aren't available, hand gels can substitute. Stay home if you're sick and keep children home from school if they are. With this serious problem we should get swine flu kits and swine flu protection. Many of these kits sold out in just a few short hours.
