Swine flu pandemic

[Pat]

How do you guys protect yourselves against H1N1 flu while "working" in AC casinos? Casinos will never close their doors due to the swine flu pandemic, but 2 schools have been closed because many students & teachers were sick with H1N1 flu in AC & Galloway Township. Perhaps these pics can be helpful during the time of the swine flu pandemic:

I avoid H1N1 games, and look instead for H17 DAS.

I also try to keep my hands away from my face, and sanitize them frequently.

Finally, I avoid sitting at tables next to men who act like pigs.

I don't get how not wanting to get a flu vaccination should connote being an anti-government or anti-science paranoid. The last time we had a mass swine flu inoculation in the US thousands of people ended up sorry they did, and over a hundred died from it. All medical treatment has risks and it doesn't take a paranoid to conclude that the risks outweigh the benefits in one's individual case.

I got my vaccine, so I don't worry about it.

But I think fears about the vaccine effects are unfounded and quite silly, on par with the loonies who refuse to vaccinate their kids for fear of autism or somesuch. This attitude is killing a lot of innocent children.

The risk of adverse effects from H1N1 is, for pretty much everyone, far, far higher than any risk from getting the vaccine.

Also, by not getting the vaccine, you're endangering others who haven't had a chance to get vaccinated yet (or couldn't, due to allergies, etc.)
