We got our information from the CDC website with regards to how to protect against swine flu. Here is a quote from their section on how to avoid catching swine flu "Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective." http://cdc.gov/h1n1flu/

Hand sanitizer doesn't kill flu germs because the flu is spread by a virus, which has a hard outer shell that is not easily penetrated. They need to be washed off.

Yes it is a great idea to add masks as well has hand santizer to your kits we have had those plus rubber gloves in our for years.

I do have a few other suggestions though. Tylenol, Motrin, Robitussin (or other expectorant), pedialyte for the kids and gatorade or something for the adults.

I bought two bottles of each at Sams Club of the Tylenol and Motrin. I also went to Walmart and they were out of hand santizer so I go the Wet Ones in the pop up container.

Hope this helps and have a blessed day!

Great post. This is on my mind right now, as I am a nurse practitioner in a student health clinic for a college. Just wanted to add my two cents about the masks though. While masks do act as a great barrier to germs, the best method of prevention of infection is washing your hands, coughing/sneezing in your elbow, avoiding touch your face (eyes, ears, nose, mouth), and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The masks are only good so long as they are dry. Once you have breathed into it for so long, its effectiveness goes way down. I am not saying don't wear one, just keep doing everything else too!

Great post and super video! Probably the best info out there.

When I went to get mowing masks for working the yard this weekend, all the rows of N95 masks were gone at both Lowes and Home Depot. Definitely people are stocking up!
