Colds and Flu

Health -: "Airborne droplets have a range of about one metre, which can make you a sitting duck on a tightly packed bus. So should you consider a mask, especially when the flu virus can be transmitted in the same way?"

No!! We can now have clothes which will stop us getting colds and flu thanks to the research of Cornell University in the US. They use nanoparticles and they are very pricey because they are still in the rarified intellectual atmosphere! It would be good to have clothing to combat colds and flu because some people do not cover their mouths and noses when they sneeze and cough. Some people can't help it because the sneeze is sudden and unexpected. Well, our weather change has got us all running for the tissues and the panadol. We have overly pink cheeks, wheezes and sneezes. The flue shot shave been grabbed. I don't have one. That's one thing I do not have. Tissues, yes. Lemon drinks, yes. Cod liver oil. Yes. Vit C. Yes. Warm winter woolies. Yes. Not good on the eucalytus oil...erk. Not good on the Vicks...double erk. Peppermint tea? Yes. Black currant tea. Yes...and the old adage feed a cold and starve a fever. So, we are not ready really for this onslaught of coughs and sneezes, but we'll get by. Most of us just stop and rest these days...a few still solier on and give it to the rest of us! How much of it is the mind? Not sure. I know I always feel sicker when I am surrounded by sick people and I feel worse if anyone at work is really sick.
