Outbreak

In my last posting 'bout H1N1 (in June) theres no death casualty yet and number of people infected are just 158.

But as of yesterday, the number of death is already 64 and around 4200 plus got infected since the 1st case. What a drastic increase!

The death made up of about 2% of total number ppl got infected. Yup, this is scary….no jokes.

The most scary fact is the impact of the virus to babies and toddlers. Since they got no or less immune, they are the most fragile group. Theres even 1 mth old baby dies of this. God…

So far, theres none in my circle got infected (alhamdulillah) but theres already 1 case in my office building, and a few suspected; but somehow cleared.

Quite worried for my doter as she needs to go to school and mingled with others. Made her to wear the mask while she’s in school.

Health ministry is projecting if theres not enough cautious & remedies, about 5 mill ppl may got infected in a year to come, which means….nearly 100,000 deaths???? Pliz..tell me this will not gonna happen.

So guyz, take care of our loved ones, don’t allow our kids and parents to be in a crowded places for nothing. They’re the most fragile group.

I’d promised myself, no more outing for movies, avoid any public swimming pool, less outing & shopping where possible..heck, less vacation, huhu…and reminding my kids & myself to take the vit.C without fails and wash their hands frequently.
Theres even a do’a for the outbreak (kena hafal cepat2 nih).

Lucky I’ve done all the raya shopping for the kids last month so we don’t have to meet the crowds. And if u guys wanna shopping for raya, better do it now.

Heard that the medication WILL arrived somewhere in October. Hope so…

Not sure what’ll happen in November. Sadly we’d planned for Bali this Nov., without knowing H1N1 swine flu is a prolong outbreak, sigh…
