I received this notice from the DSHS a few days ago --

"It's hard to know what to believe. A pandemic or other health emergency is
a real possibility. It's important to plan and prepare.

-- Practice good health habits. Wash your hands, cough and sneeze into your
sleeve, and stay home when you're sick.

--Stock up on food and supplies. Have enough for a week or more.

--Have an emergency plan for your family.

For more information go towww.doh.wa.gov."

The message included graphics of newpaper clippings about the bird flu. It
didn't mention that changing your shirt often during sickness would be
advisable to prevent a large buildup of snot on your sleeves.
