How can I protect myself from getting swine influenza from infected people?
In the past, human infection with swine influenza was generally mild but is known to have caused severe illness such as pneumonia For the current outbreaks in the United States and Mexico however, the clinical pictures have been different. None of the confirmed cases in the United States have had the severe form of the disease and the patients recovered from illness without requiring medical care. In Mexico, some patients reportedly had the severe form of the disease.
To protect yourself, practice general preventive measures for influenza:
•Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and who have fever and cough.
•Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly.
•Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.
If there is an ill person at home:
•Try to provide the ill person a separate section in the house. If this is not possible, keep the patient at least 1 meter in distance from others.
•Cover mouth and nose when caring for the ill person. Masks can be bought commercially or made using the readily available materials as long as they are disposed of or cleaned properly.
•Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly after each contact with the ill person.
•Try to improve the air flow in the area where the ill person stays. Use doors and windows to take advantage of breezes.
•Keep the environment clean with readily available household cleaning agents.
If you are living in a country where swine influenza has caused disease in humans, follow additional advice from national and local health authorities.

Oh, and if I could rate this more than 5 stars, I'd give it six, and the sixth rating would be called "The dogs bollocks". And thought it may come off like this, in neither of my comments am I being sarcastic. I realized how ridiculous the things I say are, but that's just who I am.

Your the coolest looking scientist ever. Except for maybe Steven hawking. Cause it would be badass if he rode a metal gear...and the image of him doing that is just badass. Course, a metal gear that's used like tool of science, not a tool of war.
