What You Need to Know About Pandemic Flu

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges for which people have little or no immunity, and for which there is no vaccine. The disease spreads easily person-to-person, causes serious illness, and can sweep across the country and around the world in very short time.

It is difficult to predict when the next influenza pandemic will occur or how severe it will be. Wherever and whenever a pandemic starts, everyone around the world is at risk. Countries might, through measures such as border closures and travel restrictions, delay arrival of the virus, but cannot stop it.

Testimonials

It helps so much with arthritis....

 "The joy is seeing other people becoming more active and feeling better. It's just wonderful. That is the reward of this program.

I find it helps so much with arthritis or any disabilities.  I can tell the difference. Others see how active I am, at the age of 90+, and they say, 'I want to be like you' and I say, 'Well, get up and MOVE! '"  Mildred, Woodland Park, CO
