Swine Flu - US Raises State of Alert

So I dont think this is a time to panic - but I do suggest that people are reminded of good practice in dealing with the outbreak of Swine Flu.

Easy ways to protect against infection
Little can be done to prevent an outbreak of flu from spreading, health experts caution, but they say common sense measures can help individuals protect themselves. Practice the following:
- Wash your hands frequently
- Cover your cough or your sneeze
- Use alcohol-based gel or foam hand sanitizers
- If you have flu-like symptoms, stay away from work or public transportation
- Social distancing. Stay away from people who might be infected

Here are some resources you might be interested in:

And remember - TAKE YOUR VITAMINS....

Cheers
