I also ask this question because I am going to Australia for the summer, and I've heard that Australia also has a titanic amount of people infected with H1N1. But luckily, you do not have to worry too much.
Today's news media is saying that Mexico is reporting fewer cases of H1N1 (swine) flu this week than they reported last week. From what I have seen so far, I am not expecting many deaths from the H1N1 (swine) flu. Also, there are known medicines to treat this disease. CDC recommends Tamiflu for prevention. For treatment, antivirul drugs work best if started soon after getting soon (within 2 days of they symptoms).
Here are some more useful advice!
Washing your hands with most soaps does nothing to kill viruses but rubbing them together with soap and water creating a lot of friction for at least 25 seconds or the time it takes you to say the alphabet than rinsing your hands under warm water starting at the wrist working down to the finger tips is all you need to remove unwanted bacteria.
I hope you and your family enjoy your summer vacation in the states and please
do not be too worried!
