Let’s pray that none of us will be victim of the virus. Be very careful and take extreme precaution when visiting crowded place, if possible, put a mask on your face. Avoid boarding overseas for the current time. Please don’t take this matter lightly.
p/s : I heard that Malaysia is purchasing Tamiflu antiviral drug from WHO for the treatment of H1N1. It’s a good move, considering Malaysia currently didn’t have any effective ways of coping with H1N1 infection. Anyone know that will Tamiflu treats the H1N1 effectively?
