3 Real tips for staying healthy… against the swine flu
So what’s the big deal about Swine Flu? The CDC tends to think this is the next thing to be hyped up about… Or maybe another ticket for them to get more funding. We all remember the “outbreaks” over the years and frankly we’re probably all sick of hearing about these sicknesses that never amount to anything. Or maybe, they are correct and by this time next month, millions will have died to a new swine flu! Yeah sure that will happen… when pigs fly.
The CDC released some tips on how you can “stay healthy” from the swine flu… Here they are: from http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/
- Stay informed. This website will be updated regularly as information becomes available.
- Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
- Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
- 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 hands cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
- Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
- Develop a family emergency plan as a precaution. This should include storing a supply of food, medicines, facemasks, alcohol-based hand rubs and other essential supplies.
- Call 1-800-CDC-INFO for more information.
It’s funny how almost all of these “tips” are things you do when you ARE sick with the swine flu…
So here are my three tips on how to avoid the swine flu this season:
- Wash your hands before you eat anything.
- Don’t touch the railing or your face EVER!
- Wear a face mask.

Hello Philip,
You made your site simple yet elegant. I see that you have a wide variety of interests and observations here!
Now is a good time to learn about the true God, Jehovah, and find out what His plans are for us. “And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying… ‘An end, the end, has come upon the four extremities of the land. Now the end is upon you, and I must send my anger against you, and I will judge you according to your ways and bring upon you all your detestable things. And my eye will not feel sorry for you, neither will I feel compassion, for upon you I shall bring your own ways, and in the midst of you your own detestable things will come to be; and YOU people will have to know that I am Jehovah.’ ” (Ezekiel 7:1-4) (New World Translation)
