Who knows what tomorrow brings, but there are some simple things you can do to protect yourself and your family.

This is something of a perfect storm when it comes to transmittable viruses. The fact there is a strain of human influenza makes this virus easily transmittable between humans.

The deadly strain in this virus is not the human strain or even the swine strain of influenza but in fact the avian strain of influenza. This is better known as the bird flu.

We have been told by the health experts and other leaders in our country that transmission of the swine flu to humans was highly unlikely. I am sure they had good intentions but this goes to show that you have to take your family’s safety serious and not rely on the words of these experts.
