“Get the flu vaccine because it is the most effective preventative measure [against the flu.] Disinfect household objects like keyboards. Keep the touching of eyes, mouth, and nose at a minimum because those are the most common portal of entry for bacteria and viruses.”

“Make sure to drink your H20 [and eat a] healthy diet of lots of fruits and veggies. Eating right boosts your immune system. Take vitamins! Having that extra something can really help. If you feel you’re starting to get sick, don’t go out partying and drinking; listen to your body.”
