99 new cases of A(H1N1) infection cases was reported yesterday in the news with no new death. For the past few weeks, two to four hundred Malaysians contracted A(H1N1) flu every single day. While the number of death, which now stands at more than 70, is scary, I am more concerned with the number of new infection cases. After all, this number indicates the widespread of A(H1N1) currently threatening the country.

The number of new infections dipped to only two digits yesterday and it should bring relieve to a lot of people. But I’m always skeptical of everything our government says. A lot of things giving government a bad rep gets covered up by the media. The true number of A(H1N1) death and new infections can very well exceed what we read or hear in the news.

Furthermore, a deadlier strain of swine flu has been discovered. When will this pandemic ever come to and end? In the meantime, stay away from congested places as much as possible. Maintain good hygiene. If you get the flu, stay at home, guarantine yourself and seek medical attention. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vitamins to keep your immune system in check.

And a word to those who think they don’t belong to high risk group, hence not really bothered about swine flu. Spare a thought to those who are. Especially toddlers and young kids. It takes a bit of effort from everyone to make this pandemic go away.
