H1N1 (swine flu) is Expected To Hang Around All Winter October 28th, 2009
The H1N1 Is Expected To Hang Around Thru The Winter
Local State officials say they expect the H1N1 virus to be around for a while.
Health officials say pandemic viruses usually occur in waves of three and since H1N1 broke out in the spring and died down for a bit. The recent spike in recent cases would now be considered the second wave. So the 3rd way will probably hit in the spring of 2010.
“People that don’t get sick this time, we may see another lull like we did in the later summer months and then we’ll be able to get people vaccinated to protect them from the third wave,” said Ben Krakauer, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator in Binghamton, New York.
News reports all over the country are stating that this going to be a bad winter for the flu virus. In our local area of the state of Utah it seems that everyone is getting it. I have been very fortunate in my family that no one has got it.
At work we have set up a Swine Flu Killer Station, this includes a lovely sign.

1st Line of Defense
It is a simple way to help prevent the passing of this nasty virus.
May we suggest that everyone just stay home from work for a month or so. This is the only true way to prevent the spread.
Ok ok I know this is not a true request, So if you are sick and have to go to work atleast wear a mask.
