Influenza A H1N1 is a very deadly disease that is spreading around from country to country every few weeks or even days! It spreads from farmers who got it from pigs and then it spreads on to other people in the world. Many countries are already infected with this disease. The four worst-hit countries are Mexico, US, Canada and Japan.
The other infected (but not so many cases) countries and the non-infected countries try to not have more or even any cases by taking temperature and wearing masks to make sure the virus will not get into one's body system. And as for temperature taking, yes, it's good for children and adults because it can tell you what your temperature is, then if it's too high, you should go and see a doctor, don't come to school as that will infect student after student. If your temperature is all right, then good, continue to stay at school and learn.
Besides taking temperature, schools also encourage students to wash their hands properly with soap and checking for symptoms of the Influenza A H1N1 virus.
Besides all these things, I want to take matters into my own hands for myself too. Here are some things I want to do (and you could, too!)
- Regular proper hand-washing with soap after and before meals
- Sanitizing hands after touching dirty items
- Have enough sleep and eating lots of fruits and vegetables
- Make sure I get exercise to stay healthy
Hope that you follow my advice on what to do if your country has a few or some or many cases of Influenza A H1N1 Virus. If you still need more information, you can always read the newspapers, surf the Internet or listen to the radio.
All the best,
