Swine-Flu

Dangerous? yes. Let's all go wash our hands now.

With all of the fear and loathing over "swine flu", a guess a few websites to read up about it are in order. My favorite (Wired Science) has links to all the others. I think my favorite though is all of the "tips" on how to avoid getting swine flu. This is taken from the CDC's website (Swine Flu and You):

What should I do to keep from getting the flu?
First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

While I realize this could become a pandemic and people are dying from it...I refuse to succumb to the paranoia over it. The above tips are what you should do to avoid any kind of sickness. While I don't believe in karma, I'll probably end up catching swine flu because I am posting about it. But come on, just be hygienically conscious and you will probably be fine.
