Have you ever heard the old news saying, if it bleeds it leads? Well, it’s true. Bad news sells. So expect to be bombarded with scary headlines about the flu—that’s just the nature of news in America, and it’s not going to change anytime soon. On the upside, you can maintain a piece of mind by choosing one or two reliable news sources and stay informed by tuning into to them frequently. Include a local news source so you can stay informed as to where flu vaccines will be offered etc. Try to ignore the rest of the news—too much news can make anyone sick.
A very good source is the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which provides a source of excellent overall information including a map of the geographic spread of both seasonal and novel influenza A [H1N1] virus. Keep this site in your favorite places and check it often CDC updates H1N1 Flu Infection .
In the meantime, the CDC recommends that you take the following actions everyday to stay healthy:
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Wash hands often with soap and water and carry an alcohol-based cleanser when you’re away from home.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth—germs spread that way.
Stay home if you’re sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work and school and limit contact to keep from infecting others.
A few other tips:
It’s a good idea to stock up on key items such as tissue, water and other essentials that will keep you away from crowded stores for a week or two should you come down with the flu.
Prepare soups and such ahead and keep in the freezer. Stock up on things like juices, jello, clear broths.
Buy masks at your local drugstore.
