College campuses worldwide is the best swapping ground for swine flu viruses. Like the seasonal flu, swine flu (known as the H1N1 flu) is highly contagious and is spread mainly through the transfer of bodily fluid. Think: coughing, sneezing, sharing a coke or a beer.

That is why the best advise for the prevention of swine flu for a college student might be this: Get your own beer.

Great parties are always around and and there is no better place to spread the virus than college environment which promotes close contact of it's resident. The lecture hall, residence hallway and campus dorm room that encourages close proximity and greatly increases the chance of the transmission of bodily fluid.

For those in the Southern hemisphere, we saw the first wave of the spread of H1N1. In the coming months, with the arrival of winter season in the Northern hemisphere, a second wave of swine flu is expected to hit and is expected to be a lot worse than the first wave.

The real question is are we ready for the second wave?

What exactly can we do instead of just sitting around and waiting for Barack Obama to come up with a solution?
