Lets talk about the Swine flu...

Holy Moley, talk about long posts. And I thought I was text-based bag of wind.

I don't think I am going to even begin to throw my hat in on this one.

Wash hands
Bleach door handles
Mask coughers
Cough into sleeve
Gargle with tap water if someone coughs/sneezes near you
Don't put dirty hands on face

That will keep you from getting sick

Gargle with tap water?

Or bottled water.

Deeper gargle if you can't "taste" the water (eg salt water). Your brain will stronger defend your airway (unconscious reflexes) the more intense the sensation of stuff in your throat (all jokes aside).

You want to wash the mucosa with water so that you can spit out any viral particles that land on the lining of the upper airways, before the virus has a chance to penetrate the tissue.
