Swine flu attack! 猪流感来袭!

Are you feverish? Lost of appetite? Or feeling tired all the time?

Beware! You may have swine flu!!!

Ok, I do not want to cause panic, really. Chances are, you may not have swine flu, but recently, swine flu cases have been on the rise, especially in Mexico!

Extra precaution should be taken to ensure that people like you and me do not contract this swine flu virus!

So what is actually swine flu?

Swine flu is actually a respiratory disease of pigs! So actually, the disease starts in pigs first! The viruses spread among the pigs which are in contact with each other. Now, the virus will only be transmitted only if the virus is really there! So not all pigs have swine flu if the virus is absent!

And somehow, humans may have come in contact with those infected pigs, and they carry the disease around. Humans spread the disease to other humans through contact.

Now, this disease has been raised to pandemic level worldwide! There are even travel bans to Mexico, where swine flu cases are the highest. So if you’re going to Mexico, you may want to rethink for the moment.

So what can you do to ensure you’re in the pink of health?

First, if you cough, cough into a tissue. Germs can spread into the air, you know.

Always, always, always wash your hands, and make sure you’re clean.

Do all these simple things while the World Health Organization (WHO) takes steps to combat this infectious disease.

你有发烧吗?没有食欲?或经常觉得疲倦吗?

当心!你可能已经感染猪流感!

我不是想制造恐慌,真的。你可能没有感染猪流感,但是最近,猪流感病例持续增加中,特别是在墨西哥!

我们需要采取额外的预防措施,以确保没有患上猪流感病毒!

那么,猪流感是什么呢?

猪流感实际上是指猪患上呼吸系统方面的疾病!因此,这种疾病最初是由猪引起的!病毒在猪群之间散播、传染。如果猪群之间没有存在流感病毒,就不会被传染。因此,并非所有的猪都患有流感!

或是人类可能接触到感染了流感的猪,那他们将会携带流感病毒,且通过接触也会把疾病传染给其他人。

现在,这个疾病已在全世界流行!甚至开始禁止人们到墨西哥旅行,因为那里是猪流感病例最高的国家。因此,如果你想要去墨西哥,或许需要重新考虑。

所以你可以怎么做,以确保你的健康是良好的?

首先,如果你有咳嗽,可以咳在面纸上,因为细菌会随时散播到空气中。

你需要时常清洗你的双手,并保持清洁。

我们只需做好这些简单的事情,而世界卫生组织(WHO)将会采取有效的措施来消灭这种传染病。
