With more and more people getting the influenza A, I am getting more and more worried about my son , Nabil. If he is studying in the Mid West, I will not be this worried.. But his school is just 10 minutes away from the Big Apple. I have advised him to stay away from crowded places and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. But this is summertime and I don't think he likes to be confined in his room or summer classes. I can only hope that nothing untoward happens to him.
Swine was created to clear Noah's Ark from all the wastes produced by humans and animals. The sheer functions of swine should make us wary from being close to them whatmore eating them. If we human stays away from them, they will be confined to the forest, far away from human contacts. Then we will not have SARS, Influenza A or that sickness that happened in Negri Sembilan[ JE, I think].
Now, the Health Authority found out that Influenza A can also be transmitted by water not only by air. This is due to the fact that those infected with it , 25% of them suffered from diarrhoea.
As I am writing, there are already 5 influenza A cases in Malaysia. All were imported cases and I hope there will not be any human to human case here. If the WHO do not imposed a ban on travelling from one country to another, I doubt there will be a decrease in this disease. At least what The World Health Organization should do is to prevent persons with this flu from travelling out of the country. The thermal scanners should be placed at entry and disembarkation points.
In the mean time, my son has to give this summer a miss.
