Just in time for Valentine's Day, a great date for you and your honey courtesy of American's most popular comic playwright.  Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word.  He's a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she's a free spirit always looking for a new kick.  Will they survive a new apartment, a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother, and a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic where everything that can go wrong does?

FIGHTING THE FLU @OSU

PREVENTION:

  • Maintain good health--get enough sleep, eat well and exercise
  • Wash your hand often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with tissue or upper sleeve
  • Don't touch your face, mouth, eyes or nose
  • Minimize close contacts--don't shake hands or share drinks, stay at least six feet from persons who are coughing or sneezing
  • Get a seasonal flu vaccine

STUDENT PREPARATION:

  • Collect supplies:  therometer, tissues, over-the-counter medicine, foods & drinks
  • Understand the make-up and absence policies for each of your classes
  • Arrange with friends and classmates to help each other by sharing notes, delivering food, making check-up phone calls
  • Talk with your family about whether going home for a few days is an option

HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT'S SERIOUS

  • Otherwise healthy individuals whose temperature is below 103 degrees F (without fever reducers such as Tylenol) generally do not need to see a doctor
  • Those who are pregnant, asthmatic, immune suppressed, children under age 5, or in other high risk categories should consult their physicians if they have flu symptoms, as should those experiencing temperatures of 103 or above and other severe symtoms.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

  • fever
  • cough
  • sore throat
  • runny or stuffy nose
  • muscle pain
  • headache
  • chills
  • fatigue
  • Some have also reported diarrhea & vomiting

SELF-CARE

What to eat and drink if you get sick

If you get sick, your main focus should be on getting better, which requires rest and proper nutrition.  Drink plenty of fluids and eat healthful foods that agree with you.  Having these items on hand is helpful in case you come down with the flu:

  • Chicken noodle soup
  • Saltine crackers
  • Applesauce
  • Gelatin cups
  • PowerAde
  • Water
  • Apple juice
  • Sprite
  • Tea packets
  • Sugar packets

ABOUT VACCINES:

SEASONAL FLU VACCINE:  WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Seasonal flu vaccine is the vaccine offered every year in the fall.  It covers you against three commons types of influenza.  These types are chosen each year as those most likely to infect our community during the flu season (December to March). This vaccine does not give protection against H1N1 flu.  Since H1N1 is a "novel" or new virus, it could not be included in the Seasonal vaccine.

So, why get the seasonal vaccine?

With H1N1 influenza going around, it is important to be immune to the more common types of influenza for two reasons.

  1. Not knowing how much H1N1 flu may be here in the winter months, it will help all of us if we can keep seasonal flu illness low.
  2. Influenza virus is a very good at changing into new forms.  It is possible that H1N1 could combine with one of the seasonal types and become more dangerous.  That combination could occur if a person is sick with H1N1 and a seasonal type at the same time.
