At the global, national and individual levels, we need to cultivate a culture of prevention to address threats before they materialize instead of reacting when it is too late. This is all the more relevant in the face of enormous global challenges such as pandemics. What can you, as an individual, do to prevent catching and spreading influenza in a pandemic? Five simple actions: Wash your hands Cover your mouth Keep your distance Separate your sick Dispose of your waste More information: www.bestdefence.org Pandemic influenza www.ifrc.org Human Pandemic Preparedness (H2P): pandemicpreparedness.org Year: 2009 Duration: 30 seconds

Well it makes sense but in the meaninig of protectig the people around you… REMEMBER: you are not alone… If you have the flu, by covering your mouth when you cough you protect others…
how does covering your mouth when you cough protect yourself??? makes no sense.
wow you are so stupid, where do i start?
1. 1918 was “the spanish flu”
2. surviving one strain of a flu gives you no immunity from another strain
3. if you were old enough that you survived the flu of 1918 you would have to be atleest 91 now, so your immune system will be weak.
you fail
1977 virus, 1918 was h5n1

Swine flu is NOT a big deal, it’s mortality rate (rate of infected going on to die as a result) is lower than normal flu last i checked.
I think this video is very cool
I’ve already had it
OMG I THOUGHT SO TOO!!!
Swine flu is actually not as bad, it doesn’t spread and isn’t as dangerous as other flues.
swine flu does lots of damage but easy to ge away take the tablets iwthin 4 days gone
- Only people who were infected by the 1918 swine flu virus have anti-bodies already for this new strain of virus.
- It’s transmission rate will be high due to this lack of natural immunity
- Viruses can mutate into more aggressive strains at any time.
- The last point is the reason why a vaccine is prudent to possess.
- I wouldn’t advise anyone to be actually vaccinated unless this flu mutates and begins to kill a much higher % of people it infects.
scary, there are over 10,000 people in the UK that got it…( i live there!)
Did you know that the vaccine has had virtually no tests whatsoever on human subjects for any substantial period of time?
Did you realize that in the past, vaccines have actually hurt humans?
Did you know that pharmaceutical companies are set to make a fortune out of these ’safe’ drugs?
Be careful what you believe.
the vaccine is worse than the flu.
weak old people die of flu every year.
Swine flu is only slightly worse. this strain is nothing like the outbreak after wwi
i’ve got the flu just now and you really dont want it to be honest with ya it makes your bones all sore , a bad cold, really sore throat , chapped lips, headache, high temperature,sore ears , sickness and diareoah and you get really tired and your very weak , it really is quite a big deal beause people do die from it
i like how this looks like futuristic propaganda
lol i like the way you think.
It’s a new strain of flu that’s going around. Y’know that whole swine flu thing?
3 days ago, 60 kids gone from school, 2 days ago 130, yesterday 200 some, today, i was gone….
This has to be the biggest load of rubbish that I have heard since ‘Iraq has nuclear weapons’. Everyone who has does so far has had serious underlying health problems. People die from the flu every year. The only thing I am going to do is not take that vaccine, which has only just come out. That is the only thing which might make you sick!
My thoughts exactly. It’s not your fault people cough all over you.
why is that a good defensnce? i dont take the vaccine because the flu is basically a 1 day break from school all i need to do is catch it and vomit a couple of times its not htat bad. but the flu vaccine doesgreatly decrease the risk off getting it
everyone at my school last year thoughtit was a huge deal exept for me and my best friend. i think the media should shut the fuck up when a less common and less dangerous disease becomes more common and te people of the world should stop freaking out like its going to kill us all. every time a pandemic happens which is once every 10 years or so hespitals get flooded with healthy people that think they are sick and sick and injured people have died in the waiting rooms because of this. it sucks.
Is this a commercial?? I haven’t seen it on TV yet…
I agree with this post.
