prayers wont stop a killer strain of flu...sorry ...
the hints to wash hands etc are good ones...dont even touch handrails....or door knobs...
and here is how we wash our hands...you go in and you hit the motion detector thing so you have two towels hanging there.....turn on the water...wash y our hands with soap...hum yankee doodle dandy...when you finish you have washed enough...rinse...grab first towel and turn off spigots...toss ...grab next towel to open door to backroom going out....toss at last minute...
carry hand santizer or wipes...just in case...wipe off handles of shopping buggies...most stores provide wipes for doing that....and i wouldnt be eating out that much...or hanging out at the airports....avoid handling money as much as possible....money is so nasty
Great advice!
The scary thing is, they are saying it's a strain never before seen in humans OR swine. Not sure why they're calling it the swine flu?
The 'big flu' was 1918, however there have been more than several pandemics in the 20th C. I believe the last was in late 70's, Hong Kong flu. A 'breakout' has been overdue for awhile, I believe that would have more to do with viruses than humans. The CDC and WHO have been watching for 'this' if it is, 'this.'
The virus is a mutation/combination of swine, avian viruses and for the first time for both, spread human-to-human. This that last part that has raised concerns.
