Reply #7: We had a seminar about the avian flu in Nov. 2005 [View All]

Our County Judge came and gave a talk at Future Visions Foundation, a non-profit health education foundation with which I am affiliated. He outlined the plans the county had for a flu breakout, and it included rationing of health care and what would be done with the dead. Then our docs reminded everyone, wisely, to do these common-sense things:

1. If you are sick, stay home.
2. If you sneeze, use a tissue or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands-harder to spread germs
3. Have hand sanitizer handy, and use it not only on your hands, but things frequently touched, like door knobs and light switches.
4. Build up your immune system through healthy eating and use of supplements
