Q: Protection against swine flu?

I have my last and most important violin exam on 26th June. I really cannot afford to get swine flu until after the exam. I've been working on my pieces for the last two years and I don't want to wait another few months to do the exam. How can I lower my chances the most of getting swine flu until after the exam?

Want to avoid the flu? Wash your hands with soap and warm water and don't touch your face or food until you do.

Take Oscillococcinum, it is a natural homeopathic remedy.

well once again as i mentioned on another swine flu question. it is a normal flu, just more contractable so therefore easier to get. so in your situation this isnt good. the only real way is to stay away from everyone. sanitise. or wear a mask. but most of all not to worry about it. it really isnt that bad. the media just make it out to be.
goodluck with your exam!
