Summary of the article's prevention tips 👇
Since the most likely & easiest way you will get infected with flu or COVID-19 is when you breathe it in, experts recommend:
Clean air (HEPA filtration, open windows, N95 masking) > clean hands

Experts say October is prime time for respiratory virus. With flu making an early appearance this year, see article below from @AAMCtoday on what you can do to protect yourself against flu, COVID, and RSV: tinyurl.com/4dtv2wx5
The @famfightflu account continues to ignore airborne transmission of flu, and remains outdated & inadequate in its info.
Thankfully, it is largely irrelevant in the flu info space.

For flu (& other respiratory illnesses) - washing hands has 0 impact on preventing the main way you'll be infected, which is when you breathe in the pathogen
Any account ignoring airborne prevention cant be trusted

Louisville is the WORST!!
This is a result of the negligence that healthcare settings & doctors/administrators have for practicing basic airborne infection control (including simple measures like N95 masking)

JEA: "Let's bring unvaccinated seniors together during the peak of flu season and let's not have any airborne infection control (including N95 masks). This will be a great idea."

There have been 4.6 million flu cases across the U.S. since the season began — and 1,900 patients have already died from the illness, according to CDC estimates.
Dr. Amanda Kravitz, a pediatrician, shares tips for how to try to keep your family healthy this holiday season and what symptoms to look out for.
"the doctor recommends washing hands frequently and properly. While the flu can spread via airborne transmission" ->
Write your next article about how "washing hands frequently & properly" prevents a human from breathing in flu pathogens. @atstabile

Clean air > clean hands for the most effective protection versus most of your list.

"The single most effective way to prevent the flu is through annual vaccination" -> FALSE.
The single most effective way to prevent the flu is to avoid exposure to the flu. The vaccine doesnt help you avoid exposure.

The "wash hands/clean surfaces" mindset is outdated & inept, and does nothing to prevent anyone from the primary way flu infects - when you breathe in its pathogens.
@famfightflu Families Fighting Flu remains the worst flu-specific "organization" we've encountered
Louisville deserves better from one of the main hospitals in that area. If they remain outdated & inept with flu prevention, what else are they also outdated & inept about?

The flu is contagious for about 24 hours after your fever breaks. 🤒 Here’s what you need to know about avoiding the spread of the flu and when you’re contagious. 👇

Posts like the below are what keep @famfightflu in the top spot for worst flu-associated pages on X
It's the unique combo of providing inept info & refusal to adapt to actual, helpful advice
They are well ahead of other challengers (& there are many!)

Public health & media in 2025:
- "to protect yourself from illness" then stay home when you have an illness, & cover your own coughs/sneezes
- "wash hands" to protect against an illness that spreads via the air you breathe
😕🤔🤦

Other ways of protecting yourself from illness include covering your mouth or nose when sneezing or coughing, washing hands regularly, and staying home when sick if possible. mychamplainvalley.com/news/l…
Dr Ziegler is sharing his potentially contagious air to his patient without any filter or care
Wearing a well-fitted N95 is not only a decision for yourself, it's a decision for your family members, patients, & co-workers. It just shows that you care.

Flu vaccine effectiveness is shown to be 40-60% in the best-guessed seasons
Air ventilation, & masking with a well-fitted N95 protect without needing to guess on which variants may be present

When the flu wants to spread, it doesnt care how "kid-friendly" and how inept your "tips" are. It loves the fact that the tips completely ignore airborne spread.

The best defense vs the flu IS to prevent the flu from entering your body. The best way ISNT by a vaccine. The best way IS to wear a high-quality mask (an N95).
Also, a flu "shot" before flu season ISNT optimal timing
