Influenza A (H1N1)

Influenza A (H1N1) is a new strain of influenza virus that spreads from human to human and could spread quickly worldwide-leading to a pandemic flu outbreak.The disease was known as Swine Flu because it has some elements of a virus found in pigs.But the World Health Oraganization(WHO) now refers to it as Influenza A(H1N1).Some countries in Asia such as Philipines, Japan, China, Australia, Taiwan have people with Influenza A (H1N1).We can prevent the spread of this disease by cleaning our hands often, staying home when we are sick, cover our cough and sneeze, clean and disinfect with disinfectant.I think regular taking of temperature is effective against Influenza A (H1N1) because we will know if we are having fever or not and if we are we can go straight away to the doctor and have a check.That's all for this post.Look forward to my next post! :)
