There have been a total of 226 swine flu cases reported in the US. In comparison to the US population this is miniscule. There has been only 1 case of death from this flu. The biggest state affected is New York, followed by Texas, followed by California. That makes sense that where some of our largest population resides, so do the swine flu show up.
In the State of Florida there have only been 3 reported cases.
The Federal Government and manufactureres have begun the process of developing a vaccine against the novel H1N1 flu virus. People who are sick are urged tos tay home from work or school and to avoid contact with others, except to seek medical care.
Here are some tips to keep you healthy:
1) Stay informed and don't fall into the hyperbole of the news media
2) Influenza is spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
3) Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw away the tissue after you use it.
4) Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing and carry alcohol-based water free hand cleaners with you.
5) Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
6) Stay home if you are sic.
7) Follow public health advice regarding school closures or avoid large crowds of people and social gatherings.
8) Develop a family emergency plan and store ICE or In Case of Emergency in your cell phone.
