#Repost “Flu season is in full swing. Clinics and hospitals are jam-packed with flu patients. The CDC's current count is 9.7 million flu illnesses, 87,000 hospitalizations and 4,800 deaths from flu so far this year, and we're not yet at the peak of the season. You've already protected yourself and your family with the flu shot, but we know it's not a perfect defense, so what else can you do? 🤒Wash your hands regularly, especially before eating.
🤒Avoid touching your face. 🤒If you have a fever or flu symptoms, don't go out and spread the virus if at all possible. If you do, wear a mask, especially if you're going to the hospital, so you don't spread the virus to other patients, doctors, nurses, and staff. 🤒Cough and sneeze in to the crook of your elbow or a tissue, not your hand. 🤒Your doctor can prescribe medication to shorten flu symptoms. Stay safe everyone!” - @themsmd ...
