Spread Swine Flu Awareness to Restrict the Spread of this Disease

Today I have decided to write something about the Swine Flu outbreak as it is taking the shape of a pandemic disease. As a responsibility of a spiritualist and human being I am trying to do my part to save the humanity from this disease which is spreading around the globe slowly but steadily, as leaving humanity to its suffering don’t make sense to a religious or a humanist being. I am bringing you few quotes to make you aware about the Swine flu disease as its medicine has yet to not come, it is best to stay aware and safe from the disease.

“The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of swine flu cases has risen to 11,034, while the total number of deaths has reached 85. All deaths have occurred in four countries: Mexico, USA, Canada and Costa Rica.” – http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/150980.php

“In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.”

“The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as “swine flu”, is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza. The origin of this new strain is unknown. However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. This strain can be transmitted from human to human, and causes the normal symptoms of influenza.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swineflu

Fortunately, swine flu is no more serious than ordinary seasonal human influenza. We can stay safe by taking few precautions. To get more information about the disease follow the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swineflu

  8. The World Health Organization has warned that the world is on the verge of an official swine flu pandemic, saying it is working to prepare countries for raising its alarm to the highest level.

    ”We are getting very, very close,” said Keiji Fukuda, WHO assistant director-general, noting that in Australia, there is ”a great deal of activity in Victoria at the community level.”

    Under the WHO’s guidelines, one key criteria for declaring a pandemic is established community spread in a country outside the first region in which the disease was initially reported, in this case, outside the Americas.

    The WHO has left its six-level pandemic alert scale unchanged at phase five, signalling that a pandemic is ”imminent.”

    The UN health agency’s guidelines had initially focused on the geographical criteria to justify a phase change. However, member states have called on the agency to take other elements, such as severity of the disease into account.

    Fukuda played down the role of severity, saying that “by going to phase six, what this would mean is that the spread of the virus continues and activity has become established in at least two regions in the world.

    ”It doesn’t mean that the severity of the situation has increased,” he said.

    Australia’s swine flu outbreak hit sports events yesterday as a national swimming competition was axed and rugby league’s first case put fixtures in doubt.

    But when asked if the situation in Australia, where 1,211 cases of infections have been recorded, warranted a phase change, Fukuda would only say that the world is ”getting very, very close” to a pandemic.
