Thanks to Joann Swenson (Linda Bair's sister and Afton Alder's daughter) for passing on this info!

H1N1 FLU SURVIVAL KIT

These are items that should be included in your supplies to protect you from the H1N1 flu germs:

Face masks to keep from spreading germs. (Medical/surgical masks, disposable, and they need to be changed often.)  

Cold/cough medicine, cough drops and/or cough syrup.

Pain-relief medication to reduce fever.

Gatorade to replace lost electrolytes.

Hand sanitizer (60% alcohol minimum).

Latex gloves to keep from spreading germs.

Pocket tissues, for sneezing into.

Sanitizer wipes, for counter tops, door knobs, and other “touchables”.

Protect yourself and others from spreading this virus !

Information from Dr. Vinay Goyal. He is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years in regards to face masks:

Most N95 respirators are designed to filter 95% particulates of 0.3µ, while the size of H1N1 virus is about 0.1µ. Hence, dependence on N95 to protect against H1N1 is like protecting against rain with an umbrella made of mosquito net.  If you have swine flu, wearing a mask may help you from spreading the germs to others but the best way to do that is to STAY HOME and away from others!!
