A(H1N1) or swine flu, is this really alarming?

i just talked to the pediatrician of my daughter the other day. she says dengue and sars are far more alarming and dangerous than the h1n1 virus. the only thing is it spread quickly. but as long as we are aware of the symptons and knows the preventive measures on how to avoid the said disease we need not worry. she advised me that for the meantime to just stay at home as much as possible and do not go to crowded places if we can unless it's really important. be vigilant and avoid people you know that frequently travel especially to infected countries. actually if you have a fever, it's one of the questions they asked at the hospital nowadays, if you have contact with anyone who have just arrived from infected countries. at the first sign of fever and cough consult your physician immediately. any disease are deadly and dangerous if we will not attend to it at once. as the saying goes, prevention is fa more better than cure.

What is alarming for this disease is how the transmission spreads. but so far the DOH says the symptoms are the same with common flu which can be cured in time if your immune system is strong enough you can get over with it in no time. What we should also be alarmed right now is the spreading of Dengue becaus they are more deadly than that of the AH1N1 virus. There is an alarming cases coming from here and there lately and we have been too much focused on AH1N1 lately. As for the Swine Flu there is already vaccine available soon but for Dengue there is none. A patient infected by it does not have medicines to cure but his immune system's strenght would depend on it.

Well I think it is =| there's no reason for all of us NOT to worry about it because there's nothing to lose.. If we keep ourselves cool with it, we regret so better be prepared =D According to the documentary me and my bro have watched last month, swine flu have already existed a long time ago.. the reason it became AH1N1 was because the swine flu was combined with an avian flu so they named it as such for people not to confuse it to the previous swine flu. The latter version is quite scary because most thermal scanners aren't accurate and once not detected, you can spread it to almost 65,000 people.. So we better be careful and pray a lot because the Bible says sickness is the result of evilness the world has so let's keep our faith to God always and let's be good =D

Oh yeah. Geez, we already have 100 confirmed case of this flu here in the Philippines! We should be very careful..

I couldn't believe it when my father told me it's taken seriously.. just wish that every country around the world can keep prepared..and just keep praying and take care of ourselves...

Yes we hope so. But it's spreading fast we should be very cautious.
