See FuturePundit & Effect Measure. Also see H5N1. CDC recommends (especially for residents of California & Texas):
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
* If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

What, me worry?
Remember to cut down on non-fiber carb intake -- sugar, starch, etc., depress the immune system. Eat lots of dead animals and nuts to get vitamin D and E (also boosts the immune system), and eat more saturated fats like lauric acid, which is antimicrobial. It's found in high concentrations in coconut oil -- which tastes great.
Funny that this post should be right above one about Vitamin D and autism, but the CDC hasn't caught onto the fact that Vitamin D deficiency may well be a factor in flu epidemics.

If this theory is plausible, look for the virus to be contained in the next few months when Vitamin D levels are at their highest, and its recrudescence next winter when the Vitamin D levels drop.
Google is amazing.
