Swine Flu Update
August 20, 2009
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.

"The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the pandemic alert level to Phase 6 in response to the global spread of the H1N1 (swine flu) virus. This reflects that the virus has spread to other parts of the world, but it does not mean that the virus has changed or become more severe. The U.S. is working with vaccine manufacturers on the development of a vaccine against swine flu. Infectious disease experts are studying the H1N1 virus and how it behaves in the southern hemisphere this summer. That information will help public health leaders make recommendations about the vaccine and other preventive measures in the fall...
"The H1N1 virus is a hybrid, with genetic elements of swine influenza, avian influenza, and human influenza. There is no vaccine yet to protect humans against swine flu. Because this is a new strain, seasonal flu shots do not protect people, so good hygiene is important to help prevent the spread of germs. The influenza is spread by coughing, sneezing, and unclean hands."
In addition, the American Academy of Pediatrics answers frequently asked questions by parents and caregivers on its web site.
In a recent Exchange focus group of early childhood educators, one common concern expressed was the high cost of textbooks. To counter this, Exchange asked, "What if we put our most popular classroom resources on CD at a considerably reduced cost from the print version?" ... and the response was a unanimous "Go for it." So today we are announcing our first textbook on CD — The Art of Leadership: Managing Early Childhood Organizations. Now individuals or training institutions have a choice — they can buy the print version of The Art of Leadership for $63 or the CD version for $38.ExchangeEveryDay

Please stop calling H1N1 "swine flu" It gives the connotation that this flu is somehow linked to pigs and can be contracted from pigs themselves or from eating pork. Both of which are untrue. The Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization and all branches of the Federal Government correctly refer to this virus as H1N1, A-H1N1 or Novel H1N1. Please follow their lead. If you need more information about the H1N1 virus go to the following web site: http://www.factsaboutpork.com/Default.aspx. Thank you.
