Entry 16: Influenza A H1N1

Influenza A H1N1 is a swine flu virus. It spreads when people sneeze without covering their nose, cough without covering their mouth. The affected countries are Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Hong Kong, Phlippine and Singapore. They quarantined anyone who are found to have the H1N1 symtoms such as fever, flu and cough. Yes, taking temperature is effective as fever is one of the symtoms. Anyone who travelled to those affected countries must stay at home for a week. When I see anyone who coughs, I will not go near them.
