Homeland
Security Secretary wants to assure
Americans that health officials are taking
appropriate steps to minimize the impact of an
outbreak of Swine Flu, by issuing a “declaration
of emergency preparedness”. As
of today, April 26th, 2009.
Symptoms of
this virus are almost the same as any other type
of flu: fever, cough, fatigue, lack of appetite,
and some experiencing vomiting and diarrhea.
Routine precautions to prevent the spread of
infectious diseases should be taken: washing
hands often, covering nose and mouth when
coughing/sneezing, avoiding close contact with
sick people. If you are sick, stay at home and
limit contact with others.
