Recently a dangerous illness appeared in so many countries. This week, whenever i hear the news, its allways somthing to do with death or a new economic disaster . I think all of you know what I am talking about. Yeah that fucking swine flu spread all over the world unfortunately. You can hear from different countries same swine flu cases. Every passing day a new country added the list of the places where that damn flu sickness has been seen. Everyday confirmed a new case in a new place. This disaster should been prevented before being too late and spread to everywhere. Oh God. You can’t help it to be sorry. :((Last day I talked with a Mexican girl on the net and she told me the schools had been closed because of swine flu. As all we know from the news, flu spreaded to other places from Mexico, yeah it was occurred in Mexico at first, and most of the death news comes from there. What a pity for them. L Yesterday I read a news from a Turkish paper and it said the school can be closed in Turkiye too. Today’s newspapers told that the minister of national education said there is no sign of swine flu in turkey till today but that is not mean it will not be. Yes it can be seen in Turkiye too. So everyone should be careful about it.
As I know swine flu is not infected from pigs, but I am not sure about that as well. Coz I heard too that swine flu comes from pigs and comes from people who already infected. I worried if swine flu infects by eating pork products and because of that I have done a research on the net. I saw a question on yahoo answers and the person who asked the question also worried if swine flu can be infected by eating pork.. I casted an eye on the replies and most of answerers were saying the same thing; Swine flu – also named as pig flu- is not caught from eating pig meat products. Yeah It may be not infected by eating pigs. Of course this should be asked to experts in order to be sure about that issue, but everybody says the same thing. So you don’t feel doing further researches. No matter what they say, if I had been eating pork, I never would eat it again after outbreak of influenza. I urge you to cook meat properly and kill the microbes if you cannot do without pig meat products. J
Anyway, if it is not infected by eating, then how do we protect ourselves from that serious sickness? What are the protection ways? What should we do for prevention? The most important way to protect from that sickness is washing hands thoroughly and covering the nose and mouth with a tissue during sneezing or coughing. And if you are very close to a person who is already infected, experts recommend to wear a mask for such cases.
I live in china and last years some dangerous flu cases emerged in china and the most important thing should be mentioned is that china already experienced a sars disaster in the last years. Chinese government will show a maximum effort to prevent and control swine flu if it will be seen in China. Today my mother asked me if I am safe or not. Thank God there is no sign of swine flu around me. But I am still trying to be careful. I pray for being headed off as soon as possible. Don’t say there is no sign of flu here, you should be careful no matter where do you live just like as I do.
I quoted some advices from a website in order to know how can be away from disaster and what kind of way should be followed after being infected the virus. Read and follow the advices.
-Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
-Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
-Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
-If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
