Entry 16: Influenza A H1N1
I supposed all of you heard about the horrible virus that might destroy Singapore known as H1N1, Swine Flu or Influenza A. The H1N1 virus is a virus that first infected pigs from there the pigs transmitted the virus to humans. The virus is seriously nothing to joke about because it might be hiding in anyone's body. Like there was this french man which came to work in Singapore, then one night after work he went to a pub with friends then after that he went to watch a concert and then when he was on his way back he felt very sick and went to the hospital, but before going to the hospital he still went shopping and when he reached the hospital, oh no guess what, he had the virus all along. Now this is really very bad because the virus spreads like normal flu and if you just talk to someone the flue Will infect the person because the flu flew right out of your mouth onto the other person. So far a lot of countries are infected, their names are China, Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam. Countries now deal with the virus but quarantining infected people, shutting down schools, checking people that enter Singapore from an infected or non-infected country and advising people to have a good hygiene. Anyway i don't find the temperature taking exercise very effective because even if u contracted the virus and went to school still feeling ok, even before you start the exercise most of your classmates have already contracted the virus from you. Singapore is quarantining people, advising people to have a good hygiene, checking people that enter Singapore from an infected or non-infected country but not closing down the school, my home said that the ministry of health told the ministry of education to close down the schools but they didn't, now look what happen there are now teachers that contracted the virus from a teacher and it cause a lot of chaos. To fight the virus I will stay away from people that are suspected as infected people whether they like it or not because i do not want to get the killer virus, the person should try to understand because nobody wants to contract the virus and suffer. I will also try to practice good hygiene because it lowers the risk of you contracting the virus.
