No, it doesn't have anything to do with business or marketing, but since surviving the Swine Flu seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue these days I thought it might be a good idea to offer readers a little bit of additional information.
First and foremost, the Swine Flu is a version of an influenza virus that primarily inhabits pigs and, while it has been known to jump to humans in the past, has never before developed the kind of sweeping airborne contact spread it has now. Because Swine Flu spreads from person to person via direct contact, here's what the CDC and other leading professionals have to say about keeping yourself healthy and protecting yourself from the Swine Flu:
1) Keep your immune system healthy. In many cases of Swine Flu the virus is little more than a cold, bringing a fever and the sniffles and running its course in a day or so. A majority of the cases where serious illness has been seen has been among immune-compromised patients, including children and the elderly. Get plenty of exercise and sleep, watch your diet and don't forget your vitamin C!
2) Wash your hands-a lot. After you use the bathroom, after touching a public shopping cart, after blowing your nose, after shaking hands…anytime you might have come in contact with Swine Flu germs, wash up!
3) If you think you're sick, stay home. Not only will this stop the Swine Flu from spreading through your workplace, allowing your body to rest rather than forcing it to keep going will go a long way toward helping you recover quickly. Once you've been symptom free for 24 hours you're probably good to go.
**Note: You CANNOT get Swine Flu from eating pork or from drinking water, unless you put your mouth on a drinking faucet recently infected by someone with Swine Flu, so you can make those pork chops tonight worry free.**
