INFLUENZA A


UPDATES


Reported By Tainted Angel

Additional Report By Sheng Tou Chi



The Influenza A (H1N1) virus, more commonly known as the swine flu virus,is a global war which will probably appear in Singapore very soon, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan warns.
As the disease is deadly and unavoidable, the country is taking serious precautions against the disease, which has no known cure yet. However, the alert level which MOH is currently using to rate the influenza, has went down from the original orange to the less 'dangerous' yellow.

The Influenza A can be mild, moderate, severe and even fatal. As it is completely new, people do not have any protection against it, and the best they can do it to try to prevent it..
Being complacent about the disease is dangerous. Despite the fact that Mexico may be miles away, the transmission rate of the virus is dangerously high, and deaths have occurred not only in Mexico, but in other countries as well. Singapore is just as prone to the disease as any other country.

The health minister also says that the disease will more likely then not infect many people at once, so even if the death percentage is small, when the number of infected people rises, so will the number of deaths.

He also states that we "should not be complacent about this". We must treat this as "a global war and we're not just bystanders, we are participants in it, and will be in battle very quickly."

Singapore is trying to prevent the disease from spreading here at all, but although the precautions will not protect Singapore entirely, it will buy us time.As long as the virus has not invaded Singapore, we must continue to try to keep it that way and make the community strategy work.

The attempt to create a vaccine to Influenza A is already in high gear. But while this disease is not in Singapore yet, we must report any symptoms of the disease, to be quarantined and tested for the disease. Do not risk your life, as well as the lives of the people around you.

As the health minister says, "Every month we can delay the flu attack, we enhance our chances of protecting Singapore."

Now we are in the Yellow Alert, we don't need anymore temperature checks in school, other places with less traffic etc. Nonetheless, it is important for us to maintain good hygiene, it cost you no harm, to wash your hands with soap. Keep your families and yourself free from the illness.
