Put your masks on, bring out your latex gloves, put on some protective goggles and while you’re at it wrap yourself up in cellophane and stop breathing if you want to live.
The H1N1 Virus, commonly known as the Swine Flu, is here and it’s coming for you.
Scared much? Relax, so are a lot of people, but there’s no need to panic.
It’s scary, but you don’t exactly have to be wearing Kleenex boxes on your feet.
The steps to preventing the spread of the Swine Flu aren’t exactly rocket science, yet there are still many people who are overly paranoid and overreacting to the pandemic.
It’s simple. Wash your hands, cover your nose when you sneeze with your sleeve not your hands, and stay home if you’re sick.
This is really something everyone should be doing on a regular basis anyway. Good hygiene goes a long way when it comes to disease control.
Suiting up in protective armor isn’t really going to help you and neither is hyping up the Swine Flu.
It just freaks people out.
Don’t panic, get informed, and practice proper hygiene.
If you need more assurance, the Student Health Services center will be offering the Swine Flu vaccine as soon as it is made accessible to it.
