I guess I panic right away, because you know how easy it is to catch a cold.
I know they say wash your hands, but I still get the cold that my students might have.
If it’s airborne how can we Not get it.

So I am thinking the best defense is to eat well.
stock up on apples, oranges, any fruit,
snack on these instead of junk.
make a bag of deep green lettuce, peppers, cukes, parsley…add
tomatoes, oil, vinegar, mrs. dash and snack.
Mix some yogurt, nuts, raisins, cranberries, oats for a snack.
Make yourself a slushy, mix together plain yogurt, any fruit in a blender…add ice.
Drop the coffee and make a nice pot of green tea.

When you sign in somewhere …use your own pen.
Do not touch doorknobs…wear gloves ( a kleenex) if you can…
Wipe everything down as often as you can if you are at a public
place llike work or school.
Maybe before you have a party at home where germs can spread like crazy…
have it at a park pavillion instead.
Washing your hands is the obvious preventative, carry the little packs of hand wipes.
Don’t forget do not touch your eyes, nose and mouth.
Clean off the back packs…esp. handles, your purse and oh, I read that money is very dirty,
some businesses near Mexico are having their employees wear latex gloves to handle money.
Don’t forget a few schools have been closed because of the flu.
Just pay attention to your child’s health and perhaps notice whether any of their friends are sick.
Symptoms:
fever
cough
sore throat
body aches or headache
tiredness

Around the house:
Wipe off your door knobs,
light switches, floors, make sure
you thouroughly clean glasses, cups and silverware,
Do a little reading on the subject and pay attention to updates.
