Don't hold your breath

Hope everyone heard the swine flu advice from Health Secretary Andy Burnham for pregnant women on the Today Programme, which was, er, to follow the advice given a few moments before by the ‘Pandemic Co-ordinator’ at the Royal College of Obstetricians. And all he could tell us to do was to “observe good respiratory and hand hygiene”. I think we got the hand part OK. Any idea what the other bit means? Wear masks? Stay in? Don’t breathe? No, me neither.
