By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Andrew Rosenthal

The influenza virus, or more commonly known as the flu, is a wintertime ravage with symptoms that range from very mild to life-threatening. Fever, sore throat and cough, runny or stuffy nose, and fatigue are just some of the signs and symptoms of the flu virus. What can you do to prevent the flu?

Get a flu vaccine. Available right now at a doctor's office, your local pharmacy and clinics.
Try to avoid close contact with those who are sick.<li>If you are sick, avoid exposing others by staying home from work or school for at least 24 hours.
Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing to avoid spreading disease.
Wash your hands frequently.
Take any flu drugs if you're prescribed them. >

During the late winter, the peak of the flu season, the virus can be widespread across the U.S. For healthy adults, the flu can be a nuisance; but for the young and old, it can be debilitating or even fatal, so it is important to keep the flu from spreading.

I tried to print out the Robitussin commercial so you can order it, but I think you will have to go there yourselves to order it, as some things won't let you do copy's to blogs.

sometimes, trying to make a blog-copy of things that are protected, I am guessing, causes worms to enter your system. I will never understand why if they don't want you to do something, a pop up doesn't show up and say, it is not permitted. All honest people such as my dam self would obey. All I am trying to do anyway is tell the public the same thing that shows up on my great TWB APP, and I do not, nor do I want to, make a penny from it, merely to share, so they can get more money. I am not here for money, I am here to spread messages, we all have our own thing, and that is mine, YO!!!!! So WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
