What To Do about Swine Flu
The swine flu, responsible for more than 100 deaths in Mexico, is spreading rapidly. To protect yourself:
• wash your hands frequently;
• stay home from work or school if you have mild flu symptoms;
• go to a hospital if you have severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing;
• don’t worry about eating safely cooked pork. The disease is spread through personal contact, not food.
