I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

The flu has a way of evolving into deadlier more resistant strains, and that is what causes the most concern

To Gator Woman:

Thanks for worrying about my welfare, but I know perfectly well to wash my hands thoroughly. That's not news to me. What does washing hands "thoroughly" mean, however, to a 6-year-old? Not much. Telling her to sing "Happy Birthday" while she washes her hands, however, means a lot. Apparently, I've lived a sheltered existence as I've never heard that tip as it related to washing one's hands — "unbelievable" as it might seem to you.

To Gator Girl,

Is is relatively simple, you should automatically know to wash your hands thoroughly no matter what the situation. Unbelieveable, you are just learning the point of singing "happy birthday" while washing your hands??

By the way, great video and demonstration.

Let is be known that there is NO need to use that much paper towel to wash one's hands correctly. That was just an inconsiderate amount for the environment.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to keep the FIU community informed. I like the piece of advice about singing a simple song (Happy Birthday, for instance) when washing your hands; I hadn't ever heard that before. I'll be teaching that to my first-grader tonight and remembering it myself next time I wash my hands.

Where the housing bubble and banking collapse mark the aftermath of financial deregulation, the Swine Flu is only one of several pathogens that now track neoliberalism’s effects on global health. Pro-corporate monopoly capitalism is responsible for this.

Unfortunately, many health officials are not challenging this ridiculous economic system we have going.

So don't call it the Swine Flu. Call it the NAFTA flu.
