As of yesterday the WHO had updated the Pandemic Alert level to phase 4. This means that there is actual evidence of person-to-person transmission of the swine influenza.
There were 91 confirmed cases in the US with one death in Texas. No cases have been confirmed in Maryland.
Remember, hand washing is of the utmost importance and keep some alcohol-based hand rubbing solution with you. Use it after being in public places like the bank and post office.
There IS treatment for this condition and it is important that it is started early.
If you have any of the typical symptoms of the flu, particularly if you have a high fever make an appointment with your primary care physician as soon as possible.
In the meantime, dont panic! Remember this is actually a preventable condition if you are diligent.
Its Spring! A wonderful time of renewal and optimism
Choose to be Healthy !!!!
