I already posted something on how to keep from getting the flu or prevent it's spread. It was put out by the CDC.
Look, a lot of people die from complications brought on by the regular flu...so apparently this Swine flu is not any worse. The elderly and very young have the most to be concerned. Tamiflu works too so it's not like there is no cure.
The problem is we have no vaccine and they are concerned this could be a pandemic

My wife works in an ER and they have been slammed all week. Some people are potential cases(none confirmed yet), but 80% are people who don't even have a high fever or body aches. They've brought in extra staff so they can triage people and tell them they don't have Swine Flu. It's almost to a full blown panic around here.
From everything I've heard reported and read myself, the virus is lacking one key ammino acid that would make it as virulent as the 1918 and other killer flu's. There's still a chance that could mutate into that, but they've seen no signs of it yet.
The CDC lab people say that Tamaflu has been very efficient at killing H1N1 when they test it in the lab studies. The guy I saw interviewed said it reacted to Tamaflu about as well as the more typical yearly flu's.
I think we all need to be vigilant in our hygiene and stay out of confined spaces for a few weeks if it's optional. I do a hand sanatizer 3 times a day to make it hard for germs and viruses to attach themselves. I think everyone needs to take a breath and realize there is no need for the full blown panic people have right now.

I am hearing the same thing. However, my Mom heard in La that someone suggested that churches be closed down due to the flu epidmic. Crazy!

Rather...those sick stay home and have the ministers come and pray for them.
If the kids are sick keep them HOME.
It used to drive me CRAZY when I would take one of my children into the nursery to change their diaper, and there's a mom sitting in there with a sick child.... runny nose, cough, fever. It made me want to !!
If the kid's sick, TAKE HIM HOME, don't sit in the small, confined, germy nursery and share the joy!

churches and Pastors need to tell and remind people about this. But we got this ingrained mentality that if you are sick go to church. I say, stay home and let the church come to you

We used to have a sign on the nursery door reminding people that it wasn't a sick room. Even ADULTS would come sit in there because they were sick. HELLO!! How bright is that?? Share the germs with little babies.
Something else...your kid has the flu, she or he has a fever...do you remember how you felt as an adult? So why are you dragging your kid around town to church or whereever?
