Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1  from further proliferation till
the virus limits itself in about 1-2 weeks (its  natural cycle).H1N1, like
other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper  respiratory tract and
proliferates (only) there. The only portals of entry are  the nostrils and
mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost  impossible
not coming into contact with H1N1 inspite  of all precautions.
流感疫苗不是用来杀死H1N1病毒，它只能抑制病毒在其1-2周的自然生存周期中繁
衍，H1N1跟其他Ａ型流感的病毒一样，感染部位只限于上呼吸道，并在那繁殖，它的
唯一入侵途径是口鼻喉，这种全球性的流感，几乎无人能置身事外
Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a  problem as proliferation is.
但接触到H1N1病毒，并不像H1N1传染的问题那么严重．.

Ø        While you are still healthy and not  showing any symptoms of H1N1
infection, in order to prevent proliferation,  aggravation of symptoms and
development of secondary infections, some very  simple steps - not fully
highlighted in most official communications- can be  practiced (instead of
focusing on how to stock N95 or  Tamiflu):
当你身体健康，尚未出现H1N1感染症状时，更实用有效的办法（而不是只关注储备
N95或流感疫苗），是用以下几种简单的方式来避免少量的H1N1病毒在你体内（如果有
接触到的话）繁殖、出现病症、及恶化成二期感染：
1. Frequent hand-washing (well  highlighted in all official
communications).
常洗手（在所有的官方警示中，都有重点强调）

Ø         2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist  all temptations to touch any
part of face (unless you want to eat or  bathe).
手绝不碰脸...除非是是吃东西和洗脸

Ø        3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt  water (use Listerine if you don't
trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial  infection in the
throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic  symptoms.
Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt  water
has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an
infected one.
Don't underestimate this simple,  inexpensive and powerful preventative
method.
每天用温盐水（或李斯德林漱口水，如果你不太相信盐水有效的话）漱口两
次。H1N1在鼻喉腔内经过2-3天，才开始增生并出现症候，简单的盐水漱口可以抑制病
毒繁衍，等于是健康人的流感疫苗，千万不要小看这看似简单、花费不多，但是很有
效的办法。.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your  nostrils at least once every day with
warm salt water. Not everybody may be good  at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti
(very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but  blowing the nose hard
once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds  dipped in warm salt
water is very effective in bringing down viral  population.
以上三点之外，每天用温盐水清洗鼻孔至少一次，不是每个人都会用专业的清洗鼻
腔的办法，但吸口气用力将鼻内物质喷出，最后以棉花棒沾温盐水清洁鼻孔。这对降
低鼻中的病毒量非常有效。

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods  that are rich in Vitamin C
(Amlaand other citrus fruits). If you have to  supplement with Vitamin C
tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost  absorption.
更多的食用富含维他命Ｃ的食物（如柑橘类的水果），可增加自身免疫力。如果只
能服务Vc片，尽管选用含锌的以提高Vc的吸收。.

Ø         6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you  can. Drinking warm liquids has
the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse  direction. They wash off
proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach  where they cannot
survive, proliferate or do any  harm.
多喝温开水或热汤，功效和漱口一样，只是方向相反。随着热水或汤水被喝到胃里
的病毒是无法生存、传染或发作的。

7. All these are simple ways to prevent,  within means of most
households, and certainly much less painful than to wait in  long queues
outside public hospitals.
这些都是在家里就做得到的简便预防法，远比痛苦地排长队在医院候诊好得多。.

早点看到帖子，我们就不打这个针了。.

谢谢了,为了所有人的健康..

中英文对照版，既预防甲流，又可以学习英语，一举两得呀.

抓住一切机会学英语。更希望小朋友们学习学习

老大一声号召，咱得积极响应啊。 全球总动员，一起把H1N1杀死!杀死！杀死！.

菜菜是理论功课做的好，光在这积极响应，结果流感药都没买到，还是小果子厉害，理论加实践，偷偷帮大家囤了很多。解决了我们的后顾之忧啊！ .

送花.
