@Garcia Yes, all those things can help, but exposure to a virulent strain of an airborne pathogen can have even the fittest most positively hygienic of individuals succumb to illness, regardless of your basic prevention measures, I’m afraid.

For me the basic prevention of any disease comes with proper hygiene, clean surroundings, healthy foods, regular exercise and a positive outlook on life.

We should be thankful that the swine flu did not spread very rapidly. it is not very deadly like Ebola but swine flu can still kill you.

This is very important, always wash your hands at least 20 seconds with soap and water or used an alcohol based cleaner. Make sure to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough.

For many years now i have been taking berocca with water first thing in the morning when i wake up. Before i took it regularly i would get sick at least twice every winter leaving me off work for up to a week at a time. Since taking it i go through whole winters without getting sick or if i do it would be minor and only require a single day or two absent.
As a minor prevention guard against “swine flu” i’d say the B vitamin group, vitamin C and other components of berocca surely are better than taking nothing. I have used echinacea liquid on an inflamed sore throat cough as well with great results within 20 minutes, the cough disappeared and my throat soreness subsided. Didn’t taste pleasant, but worked.

the spread of AH1N1 or Swine Flu is really scary. It is a good thing that this virus is not very deadly. We are advised to take Vitamin-C and to wear face masks.

I think more of the concern with regard to how to prevent flu is about preventing its spread.. not really lessening its symptoms. Since it has already achieved pandemic status, right now everyone is most concerned with how to stop it from further spread.. Not as much with making it easier for those who already have it, sadly.

It’s not for me to advise you on company policy, but personally I think no one should be at work/in public if they have any form of flu (other than man-flu, of course, which is a different matter altogether). Flu spreads through interpersonal contact and touching infected surfaces, it kills. Do you really want staff with genuine influenza spreading the virus among their colleagues and thence passing it on to elderly, infirm, and infant friends and relatives?
