Talking about AH1N1 (the Second wave)
It was June 2009 that the pandemic Influenza AH1N1 virus hit the Philippines. For months, Filipinos were scared because of its virulence accompanied by the intermittent weather that made individuals susceptible with this disease. With constant precaution such as:
Disease awareness (news, posters, ads)
Hand washing (Soap and Water/Alcohol/Hand Sanitizer)
P.S This is the OC-OC side of me, I always bring alcohol wherever I go…
Isolation and Quarantine
Thermal Scanning
P.S The first time I went back to FEU after months, I was nervous because the guards are checking the temperature and the night before, I had a fever. Good thing I was able to get inside and I was negative. LOL!
Immune System Boosting (Vitamins and Nutritious foods)
Avoidance to crowded places
P.S I think I was already exposed to the virus since I am always taking the LRT and during the outbreak, my friends and I went to the airport going to Palawan
Personal Protective Equipment (face masks)
The country was able to fight the Pandemic and served as an aid in increasing the people’s awareness to such health situations.
Few weeks ago, I was thinking about AH1N1 because it doesn’t make it to the news anymore unlike the previous months then, It was like I became a psychic or a coincidence that a few days after I thought about it, Department of Health (DOH) warned the Philippines about the possible second wave of Influenza AH1N1. It was said to be more virulent than the previous strain since it is also a flu season. DOH has been preparing and monitoring cases of AH1N1 present in the country.
For now, let us pray that we can surpass this disease and do our part in preparing ourselves in acquiring this virus. How? Just look above…:))
