The Flu and You!

[xxslashxx]

As many of you have heard, there are now two confirmed cases of swine flu in Texas as well as cases in Mexico, California and Kansas, and suspected cases in New York. Flu vaccines administered in fall 2008 and winter 2009 DO NOT protect against swine flu, and there is not a human vaccine for the illness. Therefore, there is the potential for swine flu to spread rapidly because of the lack of immunity to the illness. This is not the avian flu that has a high fatality rate in other countries.

Because of their population density, certain communities are susceptible to the spread of illness. I ask you to be more conscious of your health habits in the coming weeks. Wash or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to clean your hands frequently, especially before eating, and cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze.

Keep your hands away from your mouth, eyes and nose. If you cough or sneeze into a tissue, deposit it in a trashcan. Do not place it on any surface that others might touch. Do not come to work or class if you have any of the following symptoms:

* a sudden fever

* body aches and pains

* coughing

* fatigue

People who have swine flu may also experience nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and/or a runny nose and sore throat. The majority of the patients with this flu have reported that the symptoms are mild and they have recovered fully.

Guys please stay safe!

Thats an ignorant way to view 'The flu'. Sure it may be a free day for you, but if a child develops the flu in an third world country it could mean life or death.

It turns out a lot of people who were in Cancun got this...and I was planning on going to Cancun for my Senior trip but it got canceled....<.<

I'd rather stay alive and healthy than get the flu while I'm partying my ass off.

I'm heading to the Dominican Republic anyways and then Orlando 3 weeks after that, so I'm good. XD

Some of my friends insisted and are still going to Cancun, I'd told them I'd take a drink in their name hoping they don't get that flu. x]

Yes, let's all get a strain of influenza that we have no immunities for. Said strain has killed as many as 86 people in 2 weeks. Sounds like a blast doesn't it.

 

[Fragbait]

Funny I feel the same way after I eat the wifes cooking.

Thats still an idiotic thing to say, You kids need to read up on countries that dont get health benefits like 1st world countries have. Besides, you should be happy you can earn an education. Other places don't have that.

It's ok ladies and gentlemen. I've read the book The Stand and I know how to get through a world pandemic.

1. Don't do anything stupid
2. Try to have personality, and room for character development.
3. Avoid anyone who is not willing to obey the above rules.

 

[Sharpe]

I rarely get sick. Besides the Common cold, and other stuff like that.

Nicely done ramp mad props for that map. Although I think there are more cases that need to be reported in it.

Sorry to argue with all of you. And I don't want to sound alarmist.
I'm from Mexico City, the place where this is taking the most lives. This new kind of flu is to be consider it seriously. The actual vaccines won't work against it, so, please, take some basic measures to keep you healthy. Read this article to know more about this disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine_influenza
