How to stay safe for the flu season

Just a disclaimer: most of this is real information, but step 3 is a late April Fools day joke.

So the flu is going around about this time of the year in the United States, so what can you do to stay healthy and not get infected? I'm going to provide a step-by-step list of how you can protect yourself. Continued below.

In these 3 easy steps, you can ensure that you stay illness-free this spring. 

Step 1: Clean.

Before you can start to worry about protecting yourself, you have to first make certain that your living space is clean. Besides cleaning the floor, make sure to use disinfectants on your house, such as Lysol Disinfectant Spray, Crisp Linen, 19-Ounce Canisters, 3-Count. Through the use of these products, you can kill most of the bacteria and viruses present in your house.

Step 2: Defend yourself.

This one may sound strange, but it works. In many countries other than the U.S. people wear masks if they are ill. This is to prevent infecting other people and to filter the air that you breath. While this is not a perfect solution, it does work and is better than nothing. You can purchase Kimberly Clark Procedure Mask with Earloops - Model KCP 47080 - Box of 50 through Amazon. However, in the United States wearing a mask in public is not very common and may draw some attention.

Step 3: Isolate yourself.

Most importantly of all, you need to make sure that you are in a sterile environment until the threat has passed. This means either wearing haz-mat suit, which is impractical and expensive, or through more practical and less noticeable quarantine bubble around your entire house. After you have gone through all the work of sterilizing yourself and your living area, you have to make sure to seal off your home so that your hard labor doesn't go to waste. Nothing is better than isolating yourself as if you were a CDC experiment.

Basically, if you want to lower your chances of contracting the flu or cold viruses, you would want to disinfect your house and yourself, wear a mask to prevent spreading or contracting the virus, and quarantining your living area to be absolutely certain that you stay sterile.
