World's are goin' crazy

Today another 11 new cases H1N1 reported in the newspaper and the numbers who have been affected increase to 91 person.. MashaAllah..who would ever thought that our beloved country can be this vulnerably affected by this disease. I never thought it could happen this serious in our country. The health ministry should have come out with a serious method to curb this problem. The spreading of this virus is insane and it could kill a person's life at anytime. if i'd be the ministry i won't let any of the foreigners from the affected country to visit here, same goes to all students who studies overseas and no visiting or holiday-ing to oversea especially those affected countries. :P

Anyway here are some good advice i can share with all of you to atleast help our country to control this disease..taken from H1N1 Flu booklet.

How does the influenza A (H1N1) virus spread?
Spread of this new virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

What should I do to keep from getting infected by the influenza A (H1N1) virus?
First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus and avoid close contact with people who are sick.

How do you Reduce your risk of contracting INFLUENZA?
Personal Hygiene

The practice of good personal hygiene is one of the most effective strategies any individual can implement to reduce their risk of being infected by the influenza virus. Important points are:

• Cover the nose and mouth with the sleeve when coughing or sneezing (not with the hand, as that contaminates the hand for touching and spreading organisms further);
• Use a tissue for cleaning/blowing the nose, and dispose of it after use;
• Clean your hands after coughing or sneezing, using a tissue, or touching any surface
that may have become contaminated by a prior user. If using a surgical mask, dispose of it carefully after use and wash hands:
° Wash hands with soap and water (preferable) or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner;
° When you wash your hands, wash for at least 20 seconds, making sure that all surfaces of hands and fingers are cleaned.
• Become “touch aware”, and avoid touching surfaces that are likely to have been touched by others (door handles, stair railings, etc);
• Avoid handshaking, social kissing, and other social rituals that involve touching others.
• Be careful with respiratory secretions when around other people (e.g. coughing and sneezing). If possible, avoid contact with individuals at risk (small children or those with underlying or chronic illnesses) until respiratory symptoms have resolved.


but always remember this is all Qada' and Qadar from Allah SWT,
all the good things are come from Allah SWT and the bad ones are from ourselves.
