Degrees Of Separation
It's has been a few weeks now since swine flu officially became a Pandemic. It's also now over two months since I first posted on this site and whilst 37 days have past, as I didn't post every day, I feel that continuing to post would be useful.
Over the past few days, I've been told of people that I know who have contracted swine flu, and others who either work with or go to school with someone who has been infected.
What Flu Mask To Buy
People who want some protection from swine flu can buy masks to cover the nose and mouth. These act as a barrier to the transmission of particals that may cause infection, however you need to know what type of flu mask to buy.
Many of us have seen news footage and/pictures of mask wearing police and army officers in Mexico, or of people coming off planes with masks over their noses, the most popular masks seem to be the surgical type or the respirator type, which I will discuss further.

Do I Need A Swine Flu Mask
Well today I had my first mini panic about swine flu. My journey to work everyday involves train tube tube one way and tube tube train the other.
If you've ever been on London Underground in particular, then you know our system is old, it's packed during rush hour and it's quite the incubator, as being the oldest underground network in the world, as we like to brag, it don't have the greatest air ventilation system.
