Symptoms of the H1N1 Flu (“Swine Flu”) which I have observed recently
here in the Silicon Valley:
- Friends have shown detailed knowledge in casual conversations of how many
H1N1 Flu cases have been reported in the US
(see
CDC H1N1 Flu Update: U.S. Human Cases of H1N1 Flu Infection) - Friends have revealed detailed knowledge of which face
masks are supposed to be most protective - New signs are taped up in bathrooms and break areas on how to cough and
wash hands to reduce transmission danger (see photo) - Face masks and hand sanitizers are sold out week after week at local
drug store (see photos) - After school tutoring program was canceled for a week to reduce
transmission risk - Update emails arrived from Sun’s crisis management team and from
Congresswoman Anna Eshoo on what
to know and do (good information!) - More questions than usual for everyone entering the lobby of
Packard Hospital: “Do you have a cough, rash, cold…?” plus
new signs suspending VIP access to parents so that everyone can be
screened before entry (see photos)
