H1N1 Current Situation

By Marco So

Here is the current situation for H1N1. The Global Health Officials are prepared to fight this epidemic to an end.Countries planned quarantines, tightened rules on pork imports and tested airline passengers for fevers as global health officials tried Sunday to come up with uniform ways to battle a deadly strain of swine flu. Apparently the Swine Flu virus is contracted through the contact with pigs. The epidemic disease began in Mexico.

Nations from New Zealand to France reported new suspected cases and some warned citizens against travel to North America.Governments including China, Russia and Taiwan began planning to put anyone with symptoms of the deadly virus under quarantine. No vaccine specifically protects against swine flu, and it is unclear how much protection current human flu vaccines might offer. The Global Heal Official have made the necessary precautions to help the current situation, not only are they working diligently in the chemistry labs, but offering new and improved H1N1 mask to citizens of affecting countries. The H1N1 masks are proved to be flexible and light weighted and offered in many styles.

Currently the pandemic alert level is at five, the epidemic would raise to level six if the death rate of the virus increases. Although the virus does not have a huge death rate, but it is still a very deadly enemy.Our hope is that this disease will end as fast as the S.A.R.S. or this could lead to more than just health issues. We are still experiencing the economic crisis, yet we experience another tough battle against another enemy.
