But what we can do at home to prevent the spread of H1N1Virus>?
There's No Place Like Home
President Felipe Calderon in Mexico is the best thing in his first television address since the outbreak began on this week: "There is no place safer than home, so as not infected with the flu," he Calderon said.
And if we are still there, the better we know how to stop a virus, or distribution in our home, the safer and our families are the roots home.
This is particularlyimportant for parents, because as you know, the flu affects younger children more difficult because they are not built until many exemptions. Even worse is the flu vaccine only bear in many places and children can not, however.
It helps that the reason why usually remember colds and flu this season. Not because of the time - but because we are all crammed with each other (and any other germs) inside.
