Here is a list of p
34、ractical steps you can take to prepare and protect yourself and your family.1) Know the symptoms Here are some of the symptoms that sound like swine flu fevers over 100 degrees (37.8), body aches, cough, runny nose, and sometimes, nausea and diarrhea. Its also useful to know if you might have had an
35、 exposure either by recent travel to Mexico, or to the areas of known cases so far in America specific areas of California, Texas, New York, Ohio and Kansas. Or you may have been exposed to a sick person who came from those areas. 2) Dont panic If you have symptoms that sound like swine flu, do not
36、rush to hospitals. Not only is this difficult for the healthcare system, it can also be potentially dangerous for everyone. Call your doctor or local public health clinic before going in. 3) Contain the illness Hand-washing works. Wash, wash and wash. Invest in some hand sanitizer for the whole fami
37、ly. Avoid hugs and kisses of well-wishers, and do not share telephone handsets or computers. Be especially careful to always cough into the elbow of your arm (yes! the elbow, not your hand!). Cover your cough and sneeze to protect others. 4) What about a mask? The data shows that masks do work as lo
38、ng as there is a tight seal about the mouth and nose. 5) Eat the pork (if you want) Swine flu gets its name because pigs can get the infection and spread it to each other as well as to humans. This latest virus contains pieces that indicate it evolved from swine flu virus, and can now spread from pe
39、rson to person. Swine flu is not spread by properly prepared and cooked pork products. So if you want to eat pork, you can.6) Getting sick? Stay home! In our go-go-go culture and these severe economic times, it can be very hard to call a boss and cancel a days work. Now, however, if you or your love
40、d ones are feeling like theres a flu coming on, stay home. 7) Stockpile? Right now, its too early for any of us to become a Swine Flu Shut-In, but the public health department recommends that each home have two weeks of supplies, in case we must stay home either for illness or to help contain transm
41、ission. That means two weeks of food for everyone in your home, two weeks of all medications, and, if youre like most people, two weeks of books and DVDs. 17.
