H1N1 News
The media is still abuzz with A (H1N1) news, especially when it recently reported the first Filipino mortality PROBABLY due to it. Metro Manila has been declared to have a LOW-LEVEL community outbreak. Many more, even politicians, are becoming more concerned with how the virus rapidly spreads and how the DOH responds to this health problem, even criticizing the department for downplaying the calibre of this virus; thus creating confusion among people. Should they be alarmed or should they be complacent? But I believe the middle ground should be the case. People should be concerned of it and actively take charge of their health to avoid getting it. Thus, boosting one’s immune system and personal hygiene are king in these times of flu. Let’s start singing “Happy birthday!” and repeat as we wash our hands.
At this point, there is no telling when H1N1 would cease to be in the limelight.
