Have you heard about this year's mutant cold virus? The U.S. Public Health Service's Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a mutant cold virus.
This virus is characterized by difficulty with breathing and a persistent fever.
10 people have died from this cold.
As with other cold viruses, there is no anti-viral medication that can be taken.
The CDC recommends following standard health procedures which include the following:
1) Get plenty of rest to bolster your immune system.
2) Exercise regularly - especially aerobic and cardiovascular workouts to strengthen your immune system.
3) Avoid close contact with those are sick and when you are sick keep your distance from others. (This is easier said than done by teachers in a classroom).
4) Stay home when you are sick.
5) Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing. If a tissue is not available cough into your elbow or turn your head and sneeze into the air and not into your hand.
6) Wash your hands with sanitizer solution.
