Be Prepared!
By Amy Phillips-Gary
A few days ago a headline on the cover of my city’s newspaper advised readers to “Prepare for H1N1.” This cautionary lead was followed up by a list of steps that can be taken in order to minimize the affects of this strain of influenza that’s reportedly making the rounds.
Cold and flu season happens every year. This time, however, there has been a particular focus on the H1N1 flu.
Countless news reports and websites share the list of symptoms. You can even go online to track where the H1N1 flu has shown up across the country and the world.
