The Mexican government's recommendations for dealing with Swine Flu.


Mexican government recommendations


1. Wash your hands frequently with liquid soap
2. Do not congregate in public places.
3. Do not make physical contact when you meet people.
4. Do not share food.
5. Avoid touching your eyes nose or mouth.
6. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze.
7. Stay at home if you are sick.
8. Don’t get on public transport if you are ill.
9. Disinfect and clean anything touched by someone with the virus (e.g. plates, mugs, telephone sets, towels, bedding).
10. Inform the medical authorities if you think you may have the virus.
11. Don't spit on the ground.
12. Use disinfectant and try and keep you home as clean as possible. Clean basins, bannisters, doors, tables etc.
13. Keep your house as well ventilated as possible.
14. Use a handkerchief or a face mask when you talk.
Danger signs
If in addition to the standard symptoms of flu:
1. you have difficulty in breathing;
2. you have a pain in your chest;
3. you have blood in your snot or phlem;
4. or you feel unusually confused or sleepy.
Note
The main problems arising from the disease come from complications that may set in, in particular respiritary problems. This is why, if you get the virus, you should avoid smoking and polluted environments. But if you have the virus for about 24 hours without complications then the virus has probably run its course and you can return to work or your studies and normal activities.
Advice to health professionals.
(You have to be able to understand Spanish, I'm afraid.)

Guardian: Kate Harding's reactionary censorious blog on CiF

It should go without saying... ....that we condemn the scummy prat who called Liskula Cohen : "a psychotic, lying, whoring ... skank" But I disagree with Kate Harding , (in my view a pseudo blogger), posting her blog in the Guardian attacking bloggers. It's a case of set a thief to catch a thief. The mainstream media is irritated by bloggers because they steal its thunder and so they comission people like Kate Harding , people with nothing to say for themselves, apparently, other than that they are feminists, to attack bloggers. I'm black. So I can legitimately attack "angry white old men". I'm a feminist, so I have carte blanche to call all anonymous bloggers "prats." Because yes, that is her erudite response to bloggers. No I don't say that the blogging medium can't be used to attack progressives in whatever context. Of course it can. But to applaud the censorship of a blogger by a billion dollar corporate like Google, and moreov...

The Guardian books bloggers' poetry anthology

There more to composing poetry online than this. ..isn't there? I don't really like conventional poetry of knowing. I love the poetry of words coming into being. The Guardian is going to publish a printable book online with our poems in it and the Irish poet, Billy Mills is getting it together with Sarah Crown, the literary editor. Good for them. Let's also remember that Carol Rumens got the ball rolling. Does Des feature in this anthology? Taboo-busting Steve Augustine decided not to join in. So what are we left with? In the anthology we will be left with a colourful swatch of well-meant, undeniably conventional, occasionally clever, verses - some of them. But there could be, there should be and there is a lot more to on-line poetry than this. Than agile monkeys, koalas and sad sloths climbing up word trees. Perhaps we should focus in on translation, because in translation there is a looseness of form and a dynamism such as, it seems, we can't easily encounter in our...

Guardian books blog fringe: Norman Mailer

FLASHING THE GUARDIAN -- A BOOKS BLOGGERS' REBELLION :  The unheroic censor with a death wish Part 1: In which Norman Mailer stars in an experiment in search engine optimisation By ACCIACCATURE 3 February 2009 When Norman Mailer died in 2007, informed opinion – in the blogosphere, people who had read at least two of his books – was split. The army of readers who saw him as one of the most despicable misogynists writing fiction in the 20th century was perfectly matched by warriors on the other side, who raged that the label wasn’t just unwarranted but tantamount to heinous calumny. Before commenters returned to bitching-as-usual, tempers were lost on literary sites all over the net in debating temperatures high enough to bring to mind tiles burning off space shuttles re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. After I'd agreed to a spontaneous suggestion by our good friend Sean Murray -- a pioneer and stalwart of the comments section of The Guardian’s books blog – that we re-...
