H1N1 in UTAR?Good or Bad?

What is H1N1?H1N1 is quite a topic these days.H1N1 is originally called as 'Swine Flu' before it changed to H1N1.It's a mutation from four known strains of the influenza A virus.Symptoms of H1N1 includes fever,sore throat,body aches,coughs,headache,chills and fatigue.From the statistic of WHO,the ratio of death is 140:1

So it finally arrived in Malaysia on 13th of May.And slowly,it spreads.One by one, university was closed down for a week as a precaution.UUM,UTM,UiTM to be mentioned a few more was closed down for a week.So the question is,will Kampar been infected or not?

There is news that some students was infected with H1N1 but UTAR admin had assured us that they were quarantined.So the question,is it good or bad to have a week break?

Personally,I felt that there is pros and cons if there is a week break.Pros?No class means no presentation.Tension and stress might go down.But the cons would be this semester will be extended for 1 more week.Extra 1 week means more pressure.And not to mentioned we might have the chance to be infected.Either way,I felt that it would be better if we are not allowed to have a break.Imagine that if you got infected but you do not know.Then you went back to your family.There is chance that you will infect your family,isn't it?Best would be stay where you are now.

The way of H1N1 to be transmit to other people is by through coughs and sneezes or by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the nose or mouth.So this means no kiss on the lips or french kiss as well lol.

Anyone who had some symptoms that I mentioned and is scared,it would be best to go to the General Hospital to have a check.No harm done.Please wear a mask too for safety measure regardless whether do we had the symptoms.

Last but not least,I'll pray for the safety to everyone in the world who got infected.
