Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 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? Geoff PS my blog has stuff on my trip to Amsterdam. Saucy women, funny aromas and a book launch with no book. http://geoffnelder.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
