This is troubling, from Obama's visit to Mexico:

"Obama was received at Mexico's anthropology museum in Mexico
City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the
following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper
reported. The newspaper didn't confirm if Solis had swine flu
or not."

(That was on Bloomberg.)

Yeah, apparently this sort of flu can cause some sort of
immune storm that is fatal even to relatively young, healthy
people. Scary.

Here are the CDC recommendations to protect yourself:


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.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home
from work or school and limit contact with others to
keep from infecting them.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread
that way.

Seems to me that some flus target those whom one would think are
in their prime/healthiest years.

Treatment for the 1917 Spanish Flu pandemic was lots of whiskey. Drink
your way thru it, then suffer the hangover later. Alcohol suppressed
the overactive immune reaction. Something to keep in mind...

Apparently this flu responds well to treatment, I guess the trick
is getting help fast enough.

I'd add, before you get a shopping cart at the supermarket, first fetch
those Clorox wipes and wipe the push handle. Taking the cart into the
market and then disinfecting it could be too late.

I keep a small 1oz. bottle of Purell in my pocket and a large dispenser on
the kitchen counter that I refill from.

This flu will almost certainly have a marked effect on the restaurant
industry.

I got a flu shot but the CDC doesn't know if it covers this new flu virus
yet.

The TV spot did mention Tamiflu WAS effective against this strain.

Probable swine flu at a school in New York City -- 8 cases
of flu, 200 students called in sick, some students had gone
to Mexico on spring break:

I wipe the cart handle, but I think it is an even better idea to
grab a wipe on your way out and wash your hands with it.

Well then, it's gonna spread.

I think it's past time when sick kids were encouraged to stay
home. Ditto for sick employees.

Jean B,

That's good thinking! The cashiers are face to face with everyone and
handling everything!

I'll probably self-checkout more often, although they frown on full carts at
self-checkouts. That and more early morning or late night shopping.

I'll probably not go to the movie theater in the near future, not that I have
much in the past.

Best,

Andy

I've seen it claimed that was the case with the Spanish Flu pandemic
that swept the world at the end of World War 1. But that argument
seemed to be based on the fact that a lot of (young) soldiers died and
I have to say I do wonder just how fit and healthy those poor buggers
were after the years of hell in the mud in Europe!

Purell and alcohol swabs will kill bacteria, but they will not kill
viruses, such as the common cold, flu, chicken pox, cold sores, ebola,
SARS, HIV or hepatitis. This is why viruses are so hard to cure; that,
and they keep changing.


The only way to be safe, is to wash your hands and rinse whatever was on
there, down the drain. Do not wipe your eyes, rub your nose, put your
hands near your mouth. Basically, keep your hands off your face.

Becca,

You're right! I know it's not as cut and dry as I tried to make it sound.

Then again, public restrooms are NOT a healthy environment to even wash
your hands. People add bacteria to the water faucet knobs, etc.

It's just a darn shame this has come up in the first place.

Andy

That is an interesting point. I wonder whether there has been a
breakdown that take that into consideration. I listen, with
interest, to the reports of relatively mild cases in New York and
wonder what the difference could be.

Not according to the CDC:

Influenza virus is destroyed by heat (167-212°F
[75-100°C]). In addition, several chemical germicides,
including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents
(soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and
alcohols are effective against influenza viruses if
used in proper concentration for sufficient length
of time. For example, wipes or gels with alcohol in
them can be used to clean hands. The gels should be
rubbed until they are dry.

Yup, my spray can of Lysol says in large print it kills viruses, then on the
back of the can in tiny print is a long list of many different viruses it
kills. It's once the viruses enter the body is when they're very difficult
to kill.

IIRC, once a virus has been contractred by a human, there is nothing
that can 'cure' its invasion; perhaps mitigate the viral infection, but
there is nothing save the human's own immune system to fight it.
Vaccines are very effective, but that's "before" the fact. Whoever
'discovers' the first effective "antiviral" medication that works like
an antibiotic to treat and "cure" viral infection(s) will probably win
the Nobel Prize for medicine. Just MNSHO!

Lysol's website recommends using alcohol-based gels, "if soap and water
are not available." It is certainly better than nothing, but I
personally do not trust alcohol-based gels to get the job done. BTW,
the Lysol website mentions viruses, then they start talking about
killing "germs" again.

I dialed up a few local hospitals this morning asking about any vaccination
for this new swine flu virus.

Each and every one of them told me to call my family doctor.

Hospitals are not walk-in clinics. They don't generally do routine
vaccinations.

Call your local health dept.

Om,

Yep! That's where I get my annual free flu shot.

I suspect the ER nurses are prohibited from dispensing such information? At
least that's the impression I got this morning over the phone with them.

Best,

I normally shun the use of any such thing.

Om is correct. Was it an *Emergency* that you get it that instant? Cause
otherwise Emergency rooms are not the place to get routine vaccinations.
You're just clogging up the system when you abuse ERs like that.

Not at all. I was just seeking information about the swine flue.

Turns out Tamiflu is not a vaccine, only a remedy medicine after the flu
takes effect.

According to the PA Dept. of Health.

Om,

You knew that, I didn't!

The Today NBC show's guest mentioned Tamiflu was effective against this
swine flu, NOT mentioning it was a remedy, so I called around to see 1. if
last winter's flu shot protects me? which it doesn't and 2. Is Tamiflu a
vaccine? No, it's a remedy.

I didn't want treatment, just knowledge.

It's an anti-viral. It's not necessarily just for after contracting
flu, it can be used as a preventative as well.
