It is Flu Season, Be Prepare!
With all the media attention on H1N1 there is great anticipation on a possible High level of cases this Flu season due to the number of cases this summer when flu usually is absent. Here in Salt Lake Countythere has been a handful of cases, 2 family members from my office as well. All survived and are well 
today, no one in our office became infected and there wasn't a panic. I do think we need to use some common sense and be calm, hand washing and germicide is always a good idea whether Flu season or not. Salt Lake County and Cottonwood Heights. The following is some information I gathered from several sources that I hope will help.
N1H1:
Human infections with the new H1N1 virus are ongoing in the United
States. Most people who have become ill with this new virus have recovered without requiring medical treatment. The CDC routinely works with states to collect information about influenza, and has done the same for the new H1N1 virus . This information can be found in a weekly report, called FluView.
.
H1N1 virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. The spread of the virus can occur in the same way that seasonal flu 
spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with the flu. People may become infected by touching something - such as a surface or object - with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Illness has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, certain people are at "high risk" of serious complications, including people 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people with certain chronic medical conditions. About 70 percent of people who have been hospitalized and have had one or more medical conditions placing people at "high risk" of serious seasonal flu-related complications.
Here are everyday steps to protect your health:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners* are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- If you are sick with flu-like illness you should stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.
