Low Level outbreak of A(H1N1) declared in the country email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines6 months ago

The spread of this virus is quite fast, mostly affected are school students. and many schools have closed and postponed schooling. Now that brings the total affected victims to 500 and one death. Now it is declared low level outbreak in the cities of the philippines. Since there is no clusters of cases yet. And the first death of this was an employee of Congress.

It is getting scary. THey say only those who have underlying diseases will be in danger and have low chance of survival. So those who are healthy and no other underlying disease will not worry if they get hit or affected by this.

But still it is really unbelievable how crazy the world is now.

They've only just announced a death from this flu in my home country of Australia too. sad It's amazing to see how fast this virus spreads though and it's one heck of a harsh reality check for us all. Even with them stating that an absolute majority of people will walk away from this virus and it's only killing those with existing weaknesses, we still need to be conscientious win all we do such as washing hands regularly etc. It IS a scary prospect overall though and the worst is definitely yet to come I'm afraid. sad


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

yes it is really scary. i just hope it will end soon. what is more scary that the possible mutation of this disease to a different strain of virus which they call it as a second with more stronger kind of virus. they based this on the case in history back when the spanish flu virus hit a century ago and killed millions of people. maybe this is the black era or plaque or whatever they call it in the history. i have read it before in my history books back when i was a student.

and the bad effect does not end there. with less people going to crowded place which should be the case to avoid to contract the disease the economy will surely suffer as more people will spend less and so there may be more laying off of jobs as a result when the company earned less . so though there may be more anticipated sales or drop of prices to attract buyers this will not sustain the income of companies and will have difficulty to maintain there present work force and have to cut off work force.

The total infection in the Philippines is actually 473. Out of that number, 400 of them have already recovered. The first Filipino fatality actually died from myocardial infarction, it just so happens that she had A(H1N1). That is the reason why health professionals continue to emphasize that A(H1N1) is treatable and it is only dangerous for people with underlying diseases that weaken their immune system.

What we need is continued vigilance in observing proper personal hygiene. We don't need paranoia. Fear and panic creates bad decisions and wrong judgments. cool


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

i am not worried about those got hit but only those who have already underlying diseases. i just fear for them and that is scary. i know we have mild case but no matter how mild this is now it is still fatal for those with underlying health diseases. and i hate to see that those who have strong body will transfer it to those who have weak bodies who will not be able to fight this deadly disease. they say this is not that scary but it is quite scary in some people and cases.

the first death in the philippines was reported today, it's in the newspaper. But usually people die if they get swine flu accompanied by other serious diseases. if you get swine flu with no other disease low chance you'll die


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

yeah that is what they say. it seems so. but it is not okay . cause there are still lots of young or not that old who have underlying diseases who work and get exposed to the crowd. they are the working people who provides for their families. and it is not okay if we can minimize that risk also.

Well I think the best that we could do right now is to calm down and maintain hygiene in our daily task. Having a good immune system is also a big help to prevent them from invading us totally. Well let us just pray that we would not be hit by it and the incidence would lessen in the coming months.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

hopefully it will end sooner that they anticipate it. cause they said it will take 3 months the least before it will finally end but still they worry about the second wave or the virus mutation. which may be more stronger than the first one

I think the Department of Health, must be react on this case in our country. DOH, always reiterated that is a mild case. I am worry about the statement of the Department of Health, Headed by Doque.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

i think that DOH is trying to calm people down. but they can't deny it is worsening. and we are being hit bad already. only thing we can be thankful is that we don't have that big high mortality rate only one out of all reported victim and most have recovered already. but i just hope only those who have strong body will get this and not those who have weak immune system and underlying health diseases existing already.


myLot reputation of 89/100. aerous (1895)   ranked 116 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

I don't think they calm the people is always scary about? Filipinos is strong in terms struggles and challenges. The DOH, must explained clearly that this disease is not that grave like that in Mexico and the US. Their explanation is wearying people, because they cannot understand what it is all about.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

i just notice that they don't give the full details of the different symptoms of the disease. i get to learn the symptoms as i keep to watch news every day. and every day they add a little information on the symptoms. on the first time they would say the symptom is sore throat. and the following days they will add stomach ache. i just wonder why they don't give all the symptoms all at the same time so we can be aware if we are already experiencing the symptoms of the disease.


myLot reputation of 89/100. aerous (1895)   ranked 116 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

That's what we don't understand about the health care department of our country. If there's a new case of disease, they focus on it. What is the other diseases that fatal than swine flu. As I watch on NEWS, some manufacturers here in the Philippines, says that they can have vaccine about the virus and ready to market. While, in the United State of America, in testing procedures. How come is that they produce sharply than in U.S. There is no guidelines yet given by the World Health Organization.
As we notice about the Philippines, manufacturers. They race their price on medical accessories like alcohol, mask and other things. They always do that in the events we face crisis like this. Why is that the Government always warning about prices but they can't actions on particular issue? Hope that their are DTI members here in mylot, to read all this grievances...

I live in the Orkney islands just north of Scotland and when we get a bug it spreads like wildfire. Last week it was announced in the paper one man was tested for 'suspected' swine flu. Well we all know where that leads don't we....unconfirmed case leads to confirmed case which leads to several confirmed cases etc.. luckily it isn't too severe I've heard, just highly contagious, I feel sorry for my girlfriend more than anyone having to deal with my moaning when I get it 'coz I always get it worse than anyone (haha)....no but seriously if it mutates like some of these people reckon it'll do then we're done for.. any reassurances?


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

then GOd help us if that happens. i just hope GOd will not permit or that we are prepared for it like we can have some sort of place in our home to quarantine a member of the family without that family member feeling being outcast or avoided. but still able to remain close to the family even quarantined. hope that will be done to all families to contain diseases.

i wonder if government should stop international flights to operate and just let people stay in the country they are currently to stop the spread of diseases worldwide. i don't think it will not be bad if international flights will be stopped for a while for the whole world so to better control it when it have mutation.

You its very fast..We should take care of our hygiene so that it wont affect as even if it has low chance of death..(Sigh) what a dangerous century we are facing crisis all of a sudden...


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2681)   ranked 31 out of 4,225 in philippines  6 months ago

yeah we often wash our hands often i think that we should have always cover in our mouth so in case we got it already without the symptoms yet showing and of course without our knowledge then we could help prevent the disease to transfer to other people as well specially to our family or people who live with us.
