influenza Type A (H1N1) virus consists of a
mixture of genetic material from
swine, avian and human influenza viruses.
it mainly spread by person to person contacts like
coughing or sneezing.
the countries that have H1N1 cases are:
Mexico, United States of America , Canada , Japan ,
Korea , Malaysia , Thailand , Spain, Germany,
New Zealand, Israel, Costa Rica,
Austria, Switzerland and Peru
And of course there is more.
Countries Leaders recommend the citizens
to wear mask when going
to crowded places and
see a doctor when you suspect you
have H1N1.
I think taking of temperature
is effective in preventing Influenza A H1N1
because we might not know if
we had a fever
by the time we realise it its too late.
and also other than taking temperatures
we also need to maintain good hygiene
like wash hands before & after meals,
wash hands thoroughly and also COVER
your mouth with tissues when you cough or sneeze.
For Shenghao:Shenghao,please cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.those who sit beside you will get sick.like me and Jemimah had fever after sitting beside you.thats all.
