Swine flu. It's all the media has been talking about lately. I understand this could turn into a Major Deal, but right now all of the people in the U.S. are recovering. More than sixty are dead in Mexico, however, and it seems like everyone in the U.S. contracted it from Mexico. So while this flu is serious, it irritates me that the media makes it sound like we're all going to drop dead any minute now.
I haven't been south of the border, so I'm hoping I'm good. Perhaps this scare will get people to realize that good hygiene is a great defense--seriously, wash your hands. It takes thirty seconds, and it can go a long way to help keep you healthy. Also, if you get flu symptoms, go to the doctor. I know a lot people are out of work and don't have health insurance, so if a doctor is not possible, at least try to stay home and not pass your germs to everyone else.
Thus ends my PSA.
