Swine Flu

[Guest guest]

I was surprised to read a news item today that the WHO forecast one in three of

the world population will catch Swine Flu before it dies down. Of course as

veggies we can assist our immune system by consuming antioxidant food such as

bright-coloured fruit and veg.

 

I flew to Amsterdam and back a few days ago via easyJet and we were told during

the safety instructions to cough or sneeze into tissues. Then we should wash

our hands as soon as possible. This last instruction puzzled me. If someone on

the plane had flu and used their hands (tissue or not) then if they walked the

plane to the toilet they will leave the virus on the door handle and probably on

several plane seat tops en route. Surely it would be safer for the rest of us

for them to stay in their seat? Maybe the flight attendants could give them an

antiseptic moist tissue.

 

Any thoughts?

PS my blog has stuff on my trip to Amsterdam. Saucy women, funny aromas and a

book launch with no book.
