Hurricane Season

Well, hurricane season is over. We have had a busy year, as predicted, but were fortunate enough to not have to deal with any major storms in our area. Here's hoping next hurricane season gives us a break as well.

Hurricane Igor

Right now we have three named storms in the Atlantic Ocean. Two are hurricanes (Igor & Julia), and one is a tropical storm (Karl). We are currently in the peak of hurricane season, and having three named storms at the same time proves it. Hurricane Igor has a projected path that could have it making landfall anywhere from the West coast of Florida, all the way up the Eastern seaboard to Maine. We will have to watch closely to see where Hurricane Igor is headed. Please make sure you are prepared now, as a hurricane survival veteran, I can tell you that you don't want to wait until one is coming to get supplies.

Competitive Edge

Own a restaraunt or cafe? How about a day care? In this economy, you need every advantage possible to get a leg up on the competition. Why not do something that can give you that edge by helping make your customers safer. With a greenshield treatment, your restaraunts tables, doors, bathrooms, and prep surfaces can be virtually free of all harmful bacteria including MRSA and H1N1. With scheduled applications, your resteraunt can be free from harmful bacteria indefinitely. We can even place a sticker on your door letting customers know that they are now entering a certified healthier environment. When they ask what that means, you can tell them how much cleaner and germ free your restaraunt is compared to others.

MRSA Outbreaks On The Rise

According to a study published Monday in The Journal Pediatrics: "The number of children hospitalized with dangerous drug-resistant staph infections surged 10-fold in recent years". MRSA is a "super-bug" that evolves so rapidly that it can theoretically defeat any antibody used to counter act it. GreenShield-USA has been proven to kill many types of bacteria & viruses, including MRSA. Check out the full article here, at Tampa Bay Online.

C.D.C. Situation Update

On the one-year anniversary of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, CDC reports that flu activity is low nationwide, although 2009 H1N1 viruses continue to be reported in small numbers. According to the April 11-17 FluView, flu activity in the United States is declining across most key indicators. The most recent CDC mid-level estimates are that about 60 million people in the United States have been infected with 2009 H1N1, 270,000 have been hospitalized and 12,270 people have died from 2009 H1N1-related illness. Sporadic flu activity, caused by either 2009 H1N1 or seasonal flu viruses, is expected to continue throughout the summer in the United States. Internationally, 2009 H1N1 flu is still circulating, including in the Southern Hemisphere, which is entering its flu season.

Info from the C.D.C.

According to the C.D.C. (Center for Disease Control): Although flu activity remains relatively low nationally, the Southeast United States is experiencing continued regional activity. Most flu continues to be '09 H1N1. Flu activity, caused by either '09 H1N1 or seasonal flu viruses, may rise and fall, but is expected to continue for weeks in the U.S.
