Saving You Money For Life

Good news! The swine flu pandemic has hardly made a presence in the term life insurance industry and even chief underwriters at some of the best term life insurance companies have reported that most swine flu cases have been mild, and mortality is actually lower than the normal seasonal flu.

Better News! There are no underwriting implications if you’ve experienced side effects from the swine flu. (Any serious side effects will be underwritten on their own, without designating the swine flu as the foremost cause.)

Even though discussions of the recent swine flu pandemic have slowed down a bit since the illness first surfaced, we believe it’s still important to be aware of how to stop the spread of germs approaching flu season.

Following are ways to stop the spread of germs from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.gov):

• Get vaccinated (the seasonal flu shot will not protect against the H1N1 virus)
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaner
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people
• If you become sick or develop a fever, stay home for at least 24 hours, unless serious medical attention is needed
• While sick, limit contact with others
• Take flu antiviral drugs if your doctor recommends them
