H1N1-Cuti pertengahan semester UPM diawalkan

Ya kalian, cuti pertengahan semester UPM diawalkan ke 29 Julai - 4 Ogos 2009 disebabkan kes H1N1. Tapi, pelajar je lah dengarnya cuti, staf masih bekerja seperti biasa. Boleh gitu? Harus roger adikku juga ni suh balik kampung.

Dan makanya, hari ini baru saya google cari symptom untuk swine flu nih. Huhu ya saya tahu saya ni ibarat orang terhantuk, baru nak terngadah kan. Eh betul ke pepatah saya itu? Main sebut je. Bila dah spread sampai tahap ni baru nak google cari info. Dan sebenarnya, ku terkenangkan juga anak-anak di rumah yang masih belum sihat sepenuhnya tu. Risau juga ni. Sebenarnya juga, saya dah baca tentang sympton awal H1N1 nih masa mula-mula pandemik dulu, cuma secara sepintas lalu dan mengambil mudah maklumat tersebut sebab rasa macam takkan kena kot pada diri sendiri dan anak-anak. Tapi, hari ini rasa lain macam pula, ya lah ditambah dengan kesihatan anak-anak yang tak baik sangat tu.

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Source
