Why Do You Need This Video?

Both the H1N1 Flu and the normal seasonal flu represent serious global health threats in addition to potential local and national economic threats. Have you asked yourself what would happen if over a third of the workforce was out sick for an extended period of time? With the H1N1 Vaccine in short supply, that is a very real possibility as we near the peak of the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic. So what alternatives do we have? Our answer is to provide continuous reinforcement of a few very simple precautions that each of us can take to have a direct impact on the spread of influenza of any type.

The following are actual impacts of global outbreaks that each of us can help avoid through increased awareness and vigilant attention to basic hygiene:

• Increased time off work or out of school
• Escalating health complications and flu-related fatalities
• Increased rates of hospitalization and stress on medical facilities and other resources
• Increased medical costs
• Overall reduced economic productivity creating social and economic disruption

So, once again, we can't stress enough, that whether you buy this video, or make use of the host of resources available online, you can help reduce the spread of the H1N1 Flu and its global impact.

There's a New Flu in Town

He's microscopic, he's bad, and he's on tour.

But you don't need to go running scared. Just arm yourself with a little knowledge and a few basic items in case he comes knocking at your door. The H1N1 Flu is actually serious business.

In fact, the WHO hasn't raised the pandemic flag in over 40 years! So, whether you watch our video or the slew of public service announcements plastered across the Internet, you need to:
