What do you do every year to protect yourself and your family from the flu? That is what you should do for Swine Flu (H1N1). The media is over hyping this because it’s news you will watch. You wouldn’t watch the truth, it’s to boring and really non eventful.
Remember the news makes stories so you will watch or read with the truth in there somewhere.
Here are some simple truths about Swine Flu:
- It is harder to contract then the normal flu.
- It is less deadly then the normal flu.
- It is only unusual because three different animals can get it (Pigs, Birds, and Humans). All formally known flu bugs could only be in two out of three.
Something to thing about;
- Remember how deadly the bird flu was here a couple years ago?
- It normally takes years for any vaccine or medicine to get on the market, how is there a vaccine already?
Here are simple things you can do:
- Wash your hands.
- Don’t hang out with people that are sick.
- If you normally get a flu shot, get one, if not, don’t.
- Don’t worry about it. Chances of it killing you are about the same as you following down the stairs and killing yourself.
If you want more information check out the CDC’s website (www.cdc.gov) to get information. But read it all, the CDC isn’t much better then the news. You have to look close at their data to know that it’s not that bad.
If you need something else to calm you down I really enjoyed listening to Jack Spirko rant about this. You can listen to his POD cast at http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/swine-flu-pandemic-facts-myths.
