    The CDC explains that the flu spreads very easily, even by touching any object that has been touched by someone who has the flu and has sneezed in their hand and then touched any object. The flu can be spread 24 hours prior to even experiencing symptoms. (www.cdc.org) Increasing the number of people within the community who are vaccinated will reduce the amount of people who become infected with the virus as well as reduce the cost the hospital will incur for treating patients with the flu who do not have insurance.…

    Although you may not recognize this disease as I have named it. The flu is a common, yet dangerous disease. Although like a shape-changing monster out of a movie, this is one of, if not the most, varied type of virus. There are at least several strains of Influenza, and each has to have its own antibodies. This is a very versatile virus, each epidemic being a different strain. This means that this particular virus is interchangeable, each with similar yet different symptoms.…

    Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile, elderly, or already weakened patients; in contrast the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults. Modern research, using virus taken from the bodies of frozen victims, has concluded that the virus kills through a cytokine storm . The strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups.…

    It is important to know about how the flu is transmitted from one individual to the next. Experts agree that the flu virus is spread by an affected individual’s droplets from talking coughing or sneezing. These droplets that can extend out to 6 feet in distance can be inhaled or land on people’s mouths or noses. The virus can also be spread by touching an object of an affected individual and then placing their hands on their own nose and mouth. The flu is contagious and affected individuals are able to spread the virus anywhere from one day before symptoms develop to up to seven days after becoming sick. This is crucial because one can spread the virus to others unknowingly before getting sick themselves. Individuals can carry…

    On average there are 15 million to 60 million cases of influenza reported annually in the United States, which results in more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths (Stewart & Rosenbaum, 2010). Getting vaccinated against the seasonal flu virus can help decrease illness by 70% to 90%, which makes it an effective way in preventing the spread of the flu virus (Stewart & Rosenbaum, 2010). Seasonal outbreaks of the flu virus in a health care setting usually will have a major impact on patients, health care workers, and the health care system. When an individual receives care from a health care worker who may have been exposed to the flu virus, it will put that individual at risk for developing the virus.…

    Flu Virus Change

    Coming into contact with an already infected individual is the easiest mode of transport for the virion. Any contact with surfaces contaminated with the mucosal fluids of an infected person can potentially make you sick. Once these contaminates make their way into your nose or mouth, they get stuck in the mucosal lining of the throat and can replicate there. To avoid this, people should properly sanitize main areas of traffic. Bathrooms and kitchens are places where viruses can easily be transmitted. If it is suspected that you are sick, wash your hands often and thoroughly. Sanitize all surfaces you’ve come into contact with and cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing. Avoiding sharing belongings and food with other people can cut down on the risk of spreading germs. The flu is extremely contagious and a healthy person can transmit it a day before symptoms even show up. This contagious stage can last up to 5-7 days. It is very important to have as little contact with others as possible during this…

    Thanks again for your emails, I was planning to write to you earlier but I didn't have much ambition since I had another bad flu. For years I have been lucky, hardly got sick at all with the flu or cold, at worst very mild ones. The last few years, but especially this fall and now into January, I've been sick several times and now I have my persistent cough back, annoying. It may have to do with the mild winters we have lately at least some people suggest a link with that. It looks like next week at least we'll go below freezing but it has been very mild here.…

    In during my research, I found that there is a wealth of food safety guidelines that are out there geared for kids. They seem to run from when going shopping, in the kitchen, cleaning up, storing leftovers, using the microwave, and storage do's and don'ts...the list really could go on and on. The most interesting thing I did noticee that many of the gguiidelines were for kids 12 and older. I only saw a few that I wouuld really use with the younger. I understand thatt the guidelines are iin placed to not just for storing, serving, or preparing foods but it is also about what we should do to avoid spreading bacteria. Spreading bacteria is probably one of the biggest things that kids do on a daily basis and these guidelines if followed correctly can help eleminate some of that spreading of bacteria on a daily basis. If I had kids and was teaching them about food safety and how not to sprread bacteria, I would review my top ten guidelines.…

    Flu Vaccine In College

    Even though as a class we were only advertising the flu vaccine on campus, it still helped get the word out about the new vaccine to try to keep the community healthy. Due to all college students sharing several things such as lecture halls, computers and dorms it enables us to spread the viruses more quickly. It is important to get ahead of the seasonal flu and get your flu vaccine as soon as possible. In their study, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2016) found that, “‘Flue season’ in the United States can begin as early as October and lasts as late as May” (“Why should people get vaccinated,” para. 1). Equally important, most students on campus did not even realize how long flu season is, and how it can impact your grades by…
