Flu comes and goes. What makes swine flu so special and worth all the hysteria? For one, this flu is a never before seen combination of viruses with proven ability to kill. The fact that it has been found so quickly in so many places suggests it is especially aggressive.

What should you do when they announce a confirmed case of swine flu in your community? What can you do to reduce your chances of becoming infected? What should you do if you start to have symptoms of the flu? What should you do to prepare even if no flu is in your state, yet?

Right now, even if your home town or city does NOT have any evidence of swine flu, there are actions you should take NOW to get ready if it arrives.

It only makes sense to be prepared and think through what you might do if your community is found to have confirmed cases. Anyone that watches TV or reads online news or newspapers is aware that the world’s health officials are concerned, very worried in fact, about what could happen if this new form of flu takes off. With modern travel, the entire world could be engulfed in a new killer flu within a few days or weeks. Aspects of our lives we all take for granted could be gone. Life could be very different for some time. Though we all hope and pray this passes by without incident, it makes sense to take a few moments to think about what could happen and how you could reduce the risk to you and your family.

1.All schools should have emergency plans to close for at least 7 to 10 days if there is even a single student with suspected swine flu. Until then, all children at all ages should wash hands frequently throughout the day with soap and water as well as alcohol based gels. Students should be required to wash hands on arrival at school, when entering or leaving class, and at end of the day. Your child should stay away from any student or teacher that appears ill, coughs or sneezes. Chances are anyone even remotely sick will be sent home immediately.

Swine Influenza hands, wash your hands

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses  that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.

The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.CDC has determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it not known how easily the virus spreads between people.

Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
