Mitigating A(H1N1)


This is from the DOH website. Para hindi mapraning o magsawalang-bahala, importante maging informed. But then again, Pinoys seem to be more concerned about celebrity scandals rather than topics that really concern them. Even as we know that this swine flu was not as deadly as we all first thought, it still doesn't erase the fact that there's something wrong with our news priorities.

Yung mga senador at kongresista ang dapat trangkasuhin to the max.


Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III today reported 8 more confirmed cases of A (H1N1) over the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of the country’s cases to 54.


“We are expecting the number to increase because of the aggressive contact tracing that the Department of Health (DOH) is doing right now and our hospitals have been ready for this situation. These new cases are also like the previous ones that are mild in nature, very similar to the cases seen in other affected countries”, Duque said.


The eight new confirmed cases include seven Filipinos and one foreigner. Four are males and 4 are females with an age range of 16-44 years old. Six of the cases are students of the De La Salle University, while one is the first confirmed case from the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde. Two of the 8 new confirmed cases had a history of travel. The said cases travelled to the US.
Duque said that all new cases are responding positively to the treatment.

  1. True. Part of being a Filipino is not to mind the serious things. LOL.

    Here is a very efficient AH1N1 advisory provided by Singapore. It's so organized!

  2. Marami tayong maling priorities talaga. Magpakasaya ngayon kesa magimpok para bukas. Gumastos para sa mga damit at gamit pangyabang kesa pagkain para sa pamilya. Magbigay ng tulong sa mga mahihirap imbis na punuin ang umaapaw ng ill-gotten wealth. Hay, Pilipinas.

    Thanks for the swine flu infos link kaiserfernandez!

    Sometimes I think may lessons tayong makukuha sa Singapore. Hindi ko man gusto as a whole yung paraan ng governance, saludo ako s apag-asenso nila.
