Swine Flu - What To Do?

There is much seriousness in the spread of disease. But why are we telling people to do the obvious? Haven’t people been hygienic in their practices? Don’t people put their hands to the mouth when the cough? Do they not wash their hands regularly and especially after coughing into them, using door knobs, reading newspapers in the work place, bathroom trips and all the others? When I was in infant’s school we go flogged for dirty nails and unclean teeth. We were penalized for badly kept hair and untidy clothes. What ever happened to these social practices

 

Swine Flu - What To Do

 

So what’s the big deal? We’ve had the flu before

Why are all these countries in the big furor

It’s puzzling to hear people say cover your mouth

No work when you’re infected and avoid travelling South

Epidemics like this depend on our thoughtlessness  

Flu travels best when our people are careless

Like covering their mouths when they cough but taking that hand

Using it to shake hands, open doors and spreading unplanned

We breathe in each others’ faces like on the bus

Have no reservations eating publically and while there, discuss

All the latest news and the spread on influenza too

Transferring the virus at the tables from me to you

The viruses don’t need to be manifested to be in the air

Or infants should learn in hygiene they’re everywhere

Dirty and unclean practices generally cause the hullabaloo

Our society should be naturally protected from spreading Swine Flu
