H1N1 virus...

At this moment, i wish i could tell you how badly i am worried about this virus. It attacks people and you, being asthmatic is very2 vulnerable for its fatal effect. So i spend a lot of my time these days learning as much as i can about this virus, and the possible means of fighting it away. As for now, the followings are what i've found:

How the virus spread: Spread like other influenza virus: through air and contact.

Symptoms of attack: Fever, flu, runny nose / excessive mucus in respiratory system: Lung, bronchial. Those with respiratory ailments, pregnant, diabetic, obese have higher fatality risk.

What to eat/drink to help ease and prevent: Coconut Drink, Orange, Lemon, Pomelo, Birdnest, Scott's Emulsion, Lots of Mineral/plain water, Green Apples.

Avoid to consume: Ice.

What to do: Stay away from crowd, public places, contact within 1 metre with anyone with flu, wear face-mask, shower with warm water (avoid cold water), avoid ice and late night shower/bath.

Once feeling feverish; quickly seek medical treatment. Those who are in high risk group (you!) will be given anti-viral without further delay. And keep yourself away from others, self-quarantine at home, or as per doctors' advise.
