Suspected cases of corona virus in the Philippines. That is what I heard in the news at the radio on our way to my son's school. But there is no confirmed case yet. This is somehow alarming. Some places suspends classes as a precautionary measures. Since this is a virus, there is no specific anti-viral treatment. It presents itself like a flu, then it will be upper respiratory infections going down to become pneumonia or bronchitis. They will just treat the specific symptoms. Still prevention is the best. Not to be exposed but how can we know that, right?

Yes it can be alarming but so far we have not found a single confirmed cases as of yet. And all of them have submitted themselves to the hospital for further observation. I will start to be alarmed when I see some local infection happening already like what is happening in China right now which looks like it is spreading fast around the place. So far that is not yet happening in our place yet and let us pray and hope that it will not happen to us.
