President Obama Declares Swine Flu a National Emergency.
On this show we talk about swine flu and the Dangers of Eating Pork.
Did you know that pigs infected by with the swine flu are given a Baby Asprin and set aside from the other pigs for a week to sweat out the swine flu virus and after a week they are sent to the slaughter house to be processed and then made available to consumers to eat. That's nasty and that's why so many people are sick and our government just can't seem to figure it out, here's the solution to this National Emergency, Stop Eating Pork!
As the cause of this year’s flu pandemic, H1N1 (Swine Flu) has been a constant news headline since June 2009. But despite those headlines, it’s still spreading: in the workplace, on campuses, in our children’s schools. And it seems to be an unfortunate historical fact that, sometimes, it takes somebody famous to get sick to motivate the rest of us to take our own healthcare more seriously, as the flu may have now hit the court.
Earlier this week, LeBron James tested positive for Influenza A after suffering from flu-like symptoms, including a high fever and congestion. The now-notorious virus H1N1 is a strain of Influenza A. While the Cleveland Cavaliers have not yet received the results as to whether or not James specifically had H1N1, the team is treating all its players, including Darnell Jackson and Coby Karl, who tested positive for Influenza A along with James, with medication to fight the H1N1 virus.
The flu bug has been a minor disruption for Cleveland's training camp as it prepares for its Oct. 27 season opener against Boston. Six other players have already been sickened by the virus, and no one is quite sure what may have caused the outbreak.
Because of the test results, James, Jackson and Karl all missed Wednesday's exhibition against Washington. But after being treated, they’re currently traveling with the Cavs for preseason games in San Antonio today and Dallas on Saturday. James has stated that he’s pretty sure he’ll be able to play at least one of the games, though he admits that the bug hit him hard, and was still congested as he talked about having to spend two days this week lying in bed.
"I can't remember ever being that sick," James said.
The Cleveland Clinic Courts, the Cavalier’s state-of-the-art practice facility, met with the team to discuss preventive measures on how to stop the flu from spreading, and per that discussion, along with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the following tips are recommended as the best ways to stay in the game:
1. The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year. In addition, there are flu antiviral medications available once flu symptoms are actually noticed.
2. Avoid close contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, try to stay away from others to protect them from getting sick too.
3. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school and/or errands. This helps prevent the virus from spreading to others.
4. Cover your mouth and nose. Use a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Again, this helps prevents others from getting sick as well.
5. Clean your hands. Hand washing with warm water often will help protect you from germs. If necessary, a great alternative to soap and water is hand sanitizing gel.
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person first touches something that is contaminated with germs, and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.
7. Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage stress, drink plenty of water and eat nutritious food.
