Sars...What are the symptoms?
A fever of at least 100.4 degrees, sometimes with chills, headache, body aches and a general malaise. After three to seven days, the patient sometimes develops a dry cough that can progress to the point where the blood isn't getting enough oxygen. Between 10 percent and 20 percent of patients need ventilators.

Keep your hands away from your face....Good germ prevention advice for all ages.

surfaces....according to one report.
The following excerpt was found on the following site...see the entire page...good reading
about flu epidemics of the past.

The 1918 Influenza Pandemic: Response
The gauze mask was another prevention method using similar ideas of contagion and germ theory. In the United States it was widely accepted for use in hospitals among health care workers. The face masks consisted of a half yard of gauze, folded like a triangular bandage covering the mouth, nose and chin (BMJ, 11/2/19118). These gauze masks acted to prevent the infectious droplets from being expelled by the mouth and from the hands, contaminated with microbe from being put to the mouth. The barrier from the hands was thought to be more important than the barrier from the air. The mask was also worn in some regions by the general population. In San Francisco the gauze masks were made a requirement of the entire population in a trial ordinance. This was later expanded to include San Diego in December. This rhyme was a popular way to remind people of the ordinance.
Obey the laws
And wear the gauze
Protect your jaws
From Septic Paws
