Swine Flu in Indonesia : Unfolding the Facts — (Part 6)
Posted on October 7th, 2009 in Global Focus Contagious_Disease, Pandemic, Treatment
On my first introduction here, I said that there’s a few interesting things I found when trying to describe the swine flu in Indonesia. We’re people in Indonesia got the bad effects of something that we didn’t start. When scientist believed that H1N1 virus became more active in Winter, they also believed that this virus became more deadly in tropical countries. What did they want to tell us? Will be there any more deaths in tropical countries, or vice versa? Which one?
Saying the truth, am I going to die if suffering from swine flu?
I hope it won’t happen. At least WHO and all of health organizations would not expect that would happen. We have to try better, better than now, and you know that we’re trying the best. Never underestimate every good suggestion, such as “Don’t eat pork.” Can you suggest that to all of your friends? Don’t eat pork for now and forever. May be there’s no guarantee that we wouldn’t contract swine flu by not eating porks, but at least there’re not enough reasons to breed pigs. If you wonder that this kind of virus might grew in other animals body, I recommend you to read my another article here.
Conclusion and a few Suggestions
Let me give you a big question with a big question mark. Many travellers from abroad who came to Indonesia were identified as swine flu suspected. They came from Australia, Mexico, Singapore, USA, etc. Aren’t there any detectors in their airport? Is Indonesia airport more better than theirs? Couldn’t they be detected as swine flu suspected before getting into the plane? For a very questionable thing, are there any medical check up requirements in there before they took off? I let you to answer it. I suggest you, make sure that you are not a swine flu suspected before travelling to anywhere.
Unfortunately, H1N1 virus came into Indonesia not only brought by travellers. It was probably from virus of the past which has mutated to a deadly strain.
I write this with a big hope that people will read this.
- Don’t breed pigs, at least not for consumption
- Don’t eat porks. Better choose more healthier foods.
- Wash your hands. Not only because you have close contact with pigs, but also you might have close contacted with someone who got flu, cough, etc. So, just wash your hands.
- See your doctor. Remember this, your illness is not for us. You should take care yourself by checking to health care centre regularly. There’re many symptomatic H1N1 infected case, but there’re more unsymptomatic ones.
To be fair, can we eat poultries? Yes, you can. Poultries can’t ‘lie’, but pigs can.
Have a nice day. Feel free to comment.
