Back to School with Swine Flu

August 30th, 2009

College students across the country are returning to campuses and getting initiated with the same tired old speeches on how to study effectively, don’t party too much and, oh yes, don’t forget how to avoid swine flu. It seems college campuses across the country are concerned about the close quarters of college students and the potential havoc that swine flu could cause. Orientation kits include more than condoms this year; hand sanitizer is the hot item for the freshman class of 2010.
The nature of college dormitories and the propensity for young adults to be close to their friends and peers has health officials concerned about this high-risk population. Georgia Tech has already had 100 cases of swine flu. This winter is expected to be the worst of the flu epidemic in the United States and health departments are preparing themselves for turbulent times.

College campuses are advising students to do all the right things – eat right, keep your immunities up don’t share cups, razors or any items that germs can be passed upon. Basically common sense health care and diligence will keep college students safe from the spread of any flu virus. Swine flu isn’t that unique among flu viruses except for the fact that those with compromised immune systems can become extremely sick. Eat right, exercise and get plenty of rest and more than likely swine flu will not be a concern to any college student. Be careful of stress, as stress weakens the immune system and is responsible for a fair amount of sickness in young people today.
