flu, the flu virus can travel up to at least six feet by coughing, sneezing, breathing or talking. so keep your distance. >> and the doctor says anti-viral drugs like tamiflu can be helpful even if taken 48 hours after symptoms begin and can shorten the duration of symptoms by about a day, but most importantly, if someone has been exposed to a person with the flu or flu-like symptoms data shows it can reduce the risk of that person getting sick themselves by as much as 80%. she's talking about tamiflu. and enrollment numbers are turning around at city college of san francisco. according to the examiner. this semester began with a head count of more than 26,000 students. that's 4500 more than were enrolled in the spring semester last year. the college's free city program no doubt plays a role. it's the second semester city
