Right, some info about the flu...

World Health Organisation says we are not at pandemic stage yet.

Respiratory disease seen in pigs, in people can only be spread person to person (but how did we get it in the first place?).

Can be spread one day before getting sick and seven days after that.

Displays normal flu-like symptoms in humans.

To keep from getting this flu, the WHO say we should stay hygeinic (wash hands etc.), get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage our stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

This flu cannot be spread by eating pork. There are medicines to treat it (mainly anti-viral) but currently no vaccine.

So everybody, stay safe. Please.
