Last week our son came home from school saying someone in his class had the Swine Flu.  A couple of days later we learned that our friend had been “diagnosed” with it as well and had been confined to home for a week.  What we have learned through the news, etc. is that it appears that medically, if you have the flu, they are calling it the swine flu since this is the prevelant strain going around this season.

Well…with our son home and coughing, with a sore throat and the chills, I decided to go online to the Center for Disease Control’s website at http://www.cdc.gov to find out exactly what the symptoms are and what to do if you think you may have contracted H1N1, the “Swine Flu”.  They have a great printable flyer that might be good for workplaces, etc. around Redding that shows symptoms, what to do if you think you may have the virus, and how to keep from spreading the virus.  To see and print the flyer just CLICK HERE!

Hope this helps someone and remember to carry antibacterial hand sanitizer in your pocket or purse to help keep you from contracting the virus!
