There is nothing to worry about really. Having good hygiene, visiting your doctor, and just staying at home afterwards will help.

Now flu season is coming soon so for us gamers we should take a lot of precautions. Here is what you can do to lessen your chances of being sick:

-Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and warm water. Especially after you use the bathroom, take out garbage, or doing any dirty work. Also avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

-Stay at home if you are sick and avoid close contact with people who are sick. That includes skipping work or school. If your boss threatens you...well...he/she should be thankful he didn't get the flu tongue

-Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing with a tissue. These are ways how the flu can be transferred. Scold your kids if they don't of course.

-Although not said, but I recommend, use an antibacterial wipe to wipe your mouse, keyboard, controllers, etc. Anything that you use your hands with to play video games because germs can spread from your hands.

Now you're saying "Isn't this the same way to prevent the regular flu?" Yes. These basics are the exact same whether you get the regular flu or the Swine Flu.
