AVOIDING THE FLU|Americans will cooperate with public health officials if faced with a deadly flu pandemic, says a new survey. About 94 percent of people said they would stay home for seven to 10 days, and three-quarters said they’d stay home for a month, in a survey of 1,697 adults by the Harvard School of Public Health. While they’re willing to keep kids home from school and to work from home, more than half of the employed survey respondents said they’d have serious financial problems if they couldn’t work for a month.|Los Angeles Times
GET GOING|About 161 million Americans 16 or older took a vacation in which the primary purpose was to participate in an adventure or outdoor activity, according to a survey by the Outdoor Industry Association. Hiking, backpacking, bicycling and trail-running topped the list. Adventure travelers are mostly men, one-third are older than 45 and more than half are married.|The Seattle Times
