Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus. Swine flu virus regularly causes outbreaks in pigs but rarely affects humans. Occasionally there have been human infections of swine flu and in this current situation there is evidence of person-to-person transmission. What are the symptoms of Swine Flu? o Fever 101.4° or higher o Chills o Head and body aches o Trouble breathing o Cough o Vomiting and/or Diarrhea o Sore throat Why should you be concerned? The swine flu is a new flu virus and people have little or no immunity. If this new flu virus begins to spread easily person-to-person, it could sweep across the country and around the world in a very short time. This would cause an influenza pandemic. At this time, we do not know how serious it will be or how long it will last. As more people become infected, the risk of exposure to the public becomes greater. What should I do if I think I am sick? · If you have a fever of 101.4°F or higher and one of the symptoms listed above, call your doctor or medical provider. Your doctor may have you come in for an appointment and test you for influenza. Your physician will decide whether influenza antiviral treatment is needed. · If you're sick - stay home from work or school. It is important to limit contact with other people, so you dont spread germs to others. · If you have flu symptoms and need to go to a medical appointment, use a surgical mask or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and throw the tissue in the trash afterward. · If you are feeling sick and you dont have a fever, its best to stay home from work or school, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. If your symptoms get worse, call your physician or medical provider. What can I do to prevent getting sick? · Wash your hands with soap and hot water to get rid of germs and prevent the spread of disease, especially after coughing and sneezing. If you do not have soap and water, use a waterless hand gel with an alcohol base of at least 60%. · Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue whenever you sneeze and cough. Throw the tissue away in a waste basket. If you do not have a tissue, sneeze or cough into the fold of your elbow, without using your hands. · Avoid kissing or shaking hands when greeting people, and do not share food, drinks or utensils. · Keep common areas clean; places such as kitchen counters, bathrooms, door handles, toys, telephones and other household ítems. · Allow fresh air to flow into your home or at work by opening screened windows and doors.

Hi Andy, Happy New Year! I'm volunteering to be one of the moderators. Thanks for all your sustained effort all these years. Mary (Molly) Uzoh, CEO Learning Right Technologies, LLC P. O.

Technically I'm not supposed to be moderating the list anymore because I work for NPR News and I can't be involved directly in policy discussions, but the moderating from TakingITGlobal sometimes runs behind. I would suggest that DDN members try to find three or four people who could share the moderating duties, and I'm sure the TIG folks would be happy to get them set up. Either way, I really shouldn't be doing it as long as I work for NPR. ac Andy Carvin andycarvin at yahoo com www.andycarvin.com www.pbs.org/learningnow - Original Message From: tom abeles tabe...@hotmail.com To: digitaldivide@digitaldivide.net Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 12:20:20 PM Subject: Re: [DDN] The future of DDN hmm, how long between submission and approval as in this just released batch of postings. ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to digitaldivide-requ...@digitaldivide.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to digitaldivide-requ...@digitaldivide.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
