Thanks.

I have a friend who is a lung Dr and My sister used to be a head nurse in Intensive care, The both said you treat this like you would pink eye. What I mean is anything that is touched is contaminated. I have had pink eye three or four times and I tell you a person learns real fast not to use towels over and over and things. With pink eye if you touch it, it has the bug. The same with this flu. And it doesnt take that much to take the proper measures to at least try and prvent such things.

And if you get it, drink as much water or fluids as you can...treat the symptoms aggressively. A lot of good ol fashion home remedy will help. Light foods, lots of water, brandy and honey mixed, warmed up, and taken in small amounts, and your usual cold/flu medications. If you get congestion, sleep on the easy chair to help keep your lungs clear-take breaths through pursed lips to put back pressure on your lungs to help break up congestion. The biggest killer of this will be lung problems.
