People need to stop panicking, including the vice president.
But everyone should buy something that will help you fight the flu in whatever form it takes.
It is called Purell Hand Sanitizer. Wash your hands with it as often as possible.
There’s an even better one. It’s called washing your hands with soap that kills germs and very warm water.
Now, I bought some bottles of hand sanitizer today, but I had to hunt for them. It seems the whole town has had its hand sanitizer supply greatly reduced.
And that’s all you can do.
You can buy the painters’ masks at the hardware store. Those prevent you from becoming infected. Surgical masks do not. Surgical masks prevent infected people from infecting you. That’s it. They do not stop you from becoming infected.
I know that Americans live to panic. We are a histrionic people.
But sometimes, it’s better to be smart and prepared than panicked and scared. Chances are that we’re not all going to die because of this.
Yeah, panicking will only make things worse. This information is very useful. I’ve heard about this man founding an animal shelter, http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-04-12-zootoo-shelter-clash_N.htm What precautionary measures does he have to take?
Isn’t a surgical mask basically to prevent the surgeon & nurses & techs from spewing on a sterile field?
The protective visors are worn by M.E.s, pathologists, etc.
