Doing Our Best To Avoid the Swine Flu at All My Sons of Tulsa

So the Swine Flu is making its rounds again and we all need to do our part to help prevent the spread. H1N1 virus is thought to 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 influenza. Sometimes 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.

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people? The symptoms of 2009 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. Severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Over 90% of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalization occur in people older than 65.

So let's all do our part in prevention by washing our hands a lot more and by all means, stay home for at least 24 hours fever free without the aid of medicines. The experts are also asking that we not flood the Emergency room with this. Make an appointment with your regular physician as soon as you feel sick.
