A
We're
here
with
county
executive,
jim
smith
and
baltimore
county
health
director,
dr
gregory
branch,
county
executive
smith.
What
has
baltimore
kenny
done
in
response
to
the
recent
h1n1
flu
outbreak.
B
Well,
basically,
we
followed
the
advice
of
our
health
director,
dr
gregory
branch.
He
he
immediately
when
it
first
broke,
briefed
me
and
my
executive
staff.
He
he,
the
health
department,
set
up
a
hotline,
so
families
could
call
in
and
he
began
his
collaboration
and
coordination
with
both
state
and
federal
authorities,
as
well
as
the
various
agencies
in
baltimore
county
to
keep
them
informed,
as
well
as
the
hospitals
I
mean.
Baltimore
county
was
really
right
on
top
of
the
issue
following
it
closely
and
actually
participating
in
education,
as
well
as
monitoring
the
status
of
things.
C
I
would
just
like
to
remind
all
of
our
constituents
that
we
need
to
have
the
flu
facts.
One
f.
We
have
to
do
frequent
hand
washing
to
a
we
need
to
always
remember
to
administer
our
annual
flu
vaccine.
That's
very,
very
important
if
you
are
having
any
symptoms
or
anything
like
that.
Remember
to
cover
your
cough,
that's
to
see
that
tea
would
be
take
time
off
of
work
or
school
if
you're
having
any
symptoms
and
the
s
is,
if
you're
continuing
to
have
any
symptoms
at
all.
Please
seek
help
from
your
physician.
