Latest Swine Flu Updates

 

Today the Obama administration declared a health emergency and released 12.5 million doses of antiviral medication, and the WHO is considering if it needs to raise the threat level to 4.  Several countries are prepared to start quarantining anyone that appears to have the flu and have advised people to avoid traveling to the US and Mexico.

Unfortunately these increased measures may be detrimental to the progress of the flu.  However, it continues to spread at a hopeful rate.

The number of deaths in Mexico is nearing 90 and there are 20 confirmed infections in the US, including a young boy in Ohio.  Canada has reported four cases, and New Zealand suspects 10 students that just returned from Mexico have it.

Here are some helpful tips that can help you to spread the flu faster.

– Don’t cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze.

– If you accidentally cover your mouth, find a friendly looking person and shake their hand.

– Don’t wash your hands very often, especially after you cough or sneeze.

– Spend as much time as possible out in public.
