H1N1
PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION
CLICK HERE!
The transmission of diseases happen every day, as humans it is nearly impossible short of living in a bubble that you can prevent the spread of all germs, however the best way to stay healthy is to use common sense. Illnesses spread through contact between humans could be considerably stopped in their tracks if people would wash their hands often, cover their cough (in your elbow not your hands you touch things with) and use common sense. Fear and anger is not the answer in response to H1N1 or any other illness. Unfortunately people die from illness, thousands die each year from the seasonal flu, before you panic over H1N1 or the swine flu, learn how to prevent it. Our motto may seem cliche` but is true, "Don't Be Scared!" "Be Prepared!" Visit the link above for more information.
