is it does any good that way? sigh...i taught we can do more effective quarantine procedure regardless of your social status like being set example by pahang royalties member....right on the hot spot...airport terminal and hospital...why until death toll rose up only to start massive quarantine in college,school,and other sector...malaysia boleh...

by sending those student home do any good reducing the spread of the infection?...i never saw that coming when WHO raised the plague to level 6 pandaemic...lalalala

comparing to neighbouring countries, our number of deaths is higher could be due to our effective health reporting system

lets have a convoy on this to educate people...bring along mask and distribute it to the people when we pass the check point...should be good to educate too...i suggest we go to rural area where information is rarely pass to them...lalalala...

no matter what, taking precaution, hand washing and quarantine are the utmost importance... i would recommend all of us should have a dettol sanitizer or septi-sol along wif us every moment, so we can wash our hand effectively after touching something. And 1 thing, whenever u feel like want to rub ur eyes or nose or put ur finger into ur mouth ( like KFC advertisement, finger lickin' good ) pls make sure ur hands are clean b4 u do that...

however, what i heard is up to 10,000 death is expected in our country for this pandemic. now is just the early phase of it. G has to really do something and pay more attention to it by not only anouncing the number of death. in my opinion, public awareness in here is still very poor, most of the citizen only start how to prevent after they or their family member got the symptoms of H1N1. And they are still happily go shopping in mall without having mask on them.

actually, normal mask that we can buy from farmasi doesn't really work well to protect from H1N1. N95 surgical mask will be more effective in protecting us from the virus. not i want to say u must buy N95 mask, having just a normal mask is still better than nothing at all...hehee...

i hope that everyone can follow the prevention steps to minimize the infections, be considerate to urself and others by quarantine urself if u suspect u r having the virus. by the way, LGTC promotes public awareness would be a really good idea...!!

I am game for this Public Awareness campaign by LGTC members..Hope Seamaster/Koonx/Terion can arrange with Mit Motors..I wl get both TV Contacts (TV3 RTM, Astro Awani n Bernama TV) and Newpapers Contacts (New Straits Times, Star, Berita Harian, Malay Mail, Utusan n the others) to Cover the event.

Friends,

Thanks to media hype about H1N1, I’ve received calls from several who trust me, to advise. The hype in media about the utility of face masks and N95 as a tool for general protection against H1N1 can’t be deplored enough. Today, a friend who listened wanted me to write down briefly what I advised so that he could tell others in similar words. Hence this short email to friends whom I have advised recently. Please realize that this is not an official advice, especially the one about face masks or N95.

Most N95 respirators are designed to filter 95% particulates of 0.3µ, while the size of H1N1 virus is about 0.1µ. Hence, dependence on N95 to protect against H1N1 is like protecting against rain with an umbrella made of mosquito net.

Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation. H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper respiratory tracts and proliferates (only) there. The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it’s almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not the problem but proliferation is..

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps — not fully highlighted in most official communications — can be practised (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications)

2. “Hands-off-the-face” approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don’t trust salt).. H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don’t underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Sutra Neti (a very good Yoga asana to clean the nasal cavities), but blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population. Happy breathing!

good info sharing there Arvinder
