Yesterday, the World Health Organization raised the pandemic influenza alert level to 5 on its six-point scale, showing the increasing concern about the swine flu (H1N1) outbreak and indicating that a pandemic may be imminent.
The CDC has some very informative Questions & Answers on its Swine Flu (H1N1) page, también disponible en español. Taking the time to become educated and informed will not only help protect you and your loved ones, but can also allay the fear and panic that can be associated with this situation.
The American Red Cross, as part of its Be Red Cross Ready series, has a wonderful resource sheet about seasonal flu, también disponible en español, including Swine Flu (H1N1). Please feel free to print this sheet and share it with your family and friends. Post one in your office kitchen, your church meeting hall, or on the bulliten board of your favorite grocery store or sandwich shop.
Get educated; stay informed. Be Red Cross ready.
