Influenza viruses can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface. If you frequently wash your hands for more than 20 seconds, and avoid touching your face, you may reduce your exposure.

Can you get the Swine Flu from taking a sip out of an infected persons straw?

The swine flu is as contagious as the regular flu. Just like having a cold or influenza, do not share straws, wash your hands, don't kiss or come into close contact with someone with swine flu, don't share glasses with someone with swine flu, etc. Also, you cannot get swine flu from pigs or pig meat. That is a huge misconception.


How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?

"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
