Hi deepak!! Great tips to keep that disease away from us. People has been quite afraid and desperate because of that flu outbreak.
Although we try to follow these tips nothing can be 100% sure that it's going to prevent you from getting the flu and that's why the world has showing some fear about it. I believe in some month time the government will create and approve some kind of medication to prevent people from the swine flu. Have a nice day!!
