What everyone is talking about?

SWINE FLU or now known as H1N1 virus!!!

God!Its so scary.
newspaper are talking about swine flu everyday.
And it also mentioned that there is a
possibility that it would be more serious than the 1918 spanish flu.
WTH!
The 1918 spanish flu killed almost 40 million ppl leh wei!Damn scary...

If u have the following symptoms. I think u better go c the doctor.
a fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people also have diarrhea and vomiting. 

Top 5 Swine Flu Don'ts according to time.com

1. Don't Rush to the ER
If you actually have flu-like symptoms — a fever above 100° F, headache, sore throat, body aches, chills or fatigue — and you live in an area where there have been confirmed swine flu cases, by all means report to your doctor. Otherwise, leave the hospital to the sick people.

2. Don't Be Afraid to Eat Pork(I still eat pork too !)
And the H1N1 virus actually contains genes from swine, avian and human flus. The virus also cannot be spread through pork products — you can't contract swine flu by eating bacon, hot dogs or anything else that was once a pig.

3. Don't Hoard Antivirals
The H1N1 virus has so far proven vulnerable to the antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, which is good news. 
(Fuiyo!got cure.)

4. Don't Leave Home If You Feel Sick
In the absence of a vaccine, the only defenses we have against the spread of H1N1 are simple ones. Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough (with your arm, not your hands, to avoid spreading the virus through handshakes) and wash your hands frequently. Buy a pocket-sized bottle of hand sanitizer and use it — it's the easiest way to avoid getting sick.

5. Don't Panic!
