H1N1 in 2011

It looks like H1N1 is set to make a extreme comeback, many people are seeing early signs of h1n1 for the 2011 flu season. It doesn’t appear that Swine Flu ever completely disappeared and once the conditions in the Northern Hemisphere were right for it to spread that it and the common seasonal flu have returned powerfully. Stories from the UK, Alberta, Canada, and several areas in the United States indicate cases of H1N1 and those stats are almost guaranteed to grow in the future. Clearly, this sequence will most likely continue into the foreseeable future: Cases of H1N1 and the traditional seasonal flu will surge in the winter and slowly and gradually fall off in the summer and reoccur during the next prolonged cold spell. What can you do?

Essentially this is the same flu pattern that humans around the entire world have dealt with for ages, so you don’t really need to do a lot different from what you have been doing, BUT

YOU SHOULD TAKE ALL FLU SYMPTOMS SERIOUSLY!

That should be your lesson from the fact that apparently H1N1 is apparently going to be part of the regular flu season for the foreseeable future. Take every case of the flu, particularly among infants and children, women that are pregnant, the seniors, and others with debilitating health issues SERIOUSLY, because what seems like an standard case of the seasonal flu could turn out to be H1N1. So, get to the doctor at the initial sign of flu symptoms, because H1N1 usually responds well to treatment when it is caught early. Perhaps, even more significant: WASH YOUR HANDS and follow the other great public health habits that we all know about, but often do not follow every single time. Really, this isn’t nuclear physics. Mostly, preventing a large outbreak of H1N1 in your city or surviving a bout of H1N1 is simply a matter of simple logic. So, H1N1 is going to be with us for a while, but there is no reason panic. It is risky, but if you be attentive and respond suitably you should be fine. Your mama was aware of how to tackle the main problem: Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze, and follow the doctor’s orders.
