H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) by: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu



Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in April, 2009. The virus is infecting people and is spreading from person-to-person, sparking a growing outbreak of illness in the United States. An increasing number of cases are being reported internationally as well. It’s thought that novel influenza A (H1N1) flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread; mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus. It’s uncertain at this time how severe this novel H1N1 outbreak will be in terms of illness and death compared with other influenza viruses. Because this is a new virus, most people will not have immunity to it, and illness may be more severe and widespread as a result. In addition, currently there is no vaccine to protect against this novel H1N1 virus. CDC anticipates that there will be more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths associated with this new virus in the coming days and weeks. Novel influenza A (H1N1) activity is now being detected through CDC’s routine influenza surveillance systems and reported weekly in FluView. CDC tracks U.S. influenza activity through multiple systems across five categories. The fact that novel H1N1 activity is now detected through seasonal surveillance systems is an indication that there are higher levels of influenza-like illness in the United States than is normal for this time of year. About half of all influenza viruses being detected are novel H1N1 viruses.

POTRET KEHIDUPAN


"Heu.... anak sekecil itu dah berkeliaran d'jalanan.," itu yang pertama kali ada d'pikiran chie pas ngeliat seorang anak kecil sedang mengadahkan tangan meminta2., padahal anak seusia_a seharusnya sedang menikmati masa2 bermain_a, bukan malah meminta2 demi mencari sesuap nasi., emang c hidup mereka penuh kekurangan tp apa harus masa kecil d'korbankan., apa yang d'lakukan orangtua mereka?! dan apa yang d'lakukan negara ini?! pemerintah selalu bilang bahwa "sekolah gratis" tp pd kenyataan_a tetap ajah mereka anak2 kurang mampu tidak dapat bersekolah., karena mereka tidak bisa membayar uang buku dan pungutan2 lain_a., bagaimana jadi_a negara ini kelak, jika penerus bangsa_a tidak mendapat pendidikan?! jika para penguasa hanya memperkaya diri_a sendiri?! jika orang2 kaya, tdk paduli dengan sesama_a?! Kapan negara ingin akan maju, jika semua orang seperti itu.,
