Swine Flu Prevention

1. Respiratory droplets while sneezing and coughing

2. Via fomites - that is particulate matter on hands on which virus ges deposited when you put your hands on mouth when coughing and sneezing; following which one may shake hands or touch furniture/items like computer keyboards etc thus leading the fomite to other persons hand. Now this uninfected person touches his face/nose/lips and infect oneself beacuse of virus sitting there. So do no handshake/hug/kiss and if you do wash hands and stay away from crowds and 2 arm length from infected people

3. Always use hand sanitizers
4. Take a bath once you reach home
The World Health Organisation has reported 44,287 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection from 89 countries as June 17. There have been 180 deaths.

Swine flu has had a tremendous impact on pune, due to large number of foreign students studying. The number of total positive H1N1 infections registered in the city now stands at 118.
This represents the largest chunk of the 172 swine flu infections in the state, which has promulgated the Epidemic Diseases Act in Pune and Satara.
Rattled by the death of the 14-year-old student due to swine flu, people continued to rush to government hospitals to get tested for the virus.

Now collages have been closed down in Chennai as well. Though certain collages still go ahead to continue with their classes inspite of the prominent threat!.








AVOID : Eating out in roadside restaurnts, crowded places[ theaters, pubs,

SWINE FLU SYMPTOMS

The 2009 flu pandemic is a global outbreak of a new strain of a influenza A virus subtype H1N1, officially named the "new H1N1", first identified in April 2009, and commonly called "Swine flu."
Annual influenza epidemics are estimated to affect 5–15% of the global population. Although most cases are mild, this still causes severe illness in 3–5 million people and around 250,000–500,000 deaths worldwide

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that most cases worldwide are usually mild, and most hospitalizations and deaths have been of persons that also had underlying conditions such as asthma, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, or a weakened immune system.
In an attempt to slow the spread of the illness, a number of countries, especially in Asia, have quarantined airline passengers with flu symptoms, while some are also pre-screening passengers. WHO does not expect to have a full vaccine before the end of 2009, and vaccines available sooner may be limited and given first to healthcare workers, pregnant women, and other higher risk groups. Two or three injections will be required for maximum immunity from both the swine flu and seasonal flu.
