Entry 16: Influenza A H1N1

Dear Mrs.Tan

Influenza A H1N1 is a disease spread by pigs.It is spread by humans, When a person sneeze without covering their mouth or coughing without covering their mouth the disease will spread everywhere or when someone touched something with flu virus on it the virus will attack his/her body. Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America, are countries that have people with Influenza A H1N1.This countries people put on a mask so that when they sneeze or cough the disease will not spread and they will stay at home. I think that taking temperature is effective in preventing H1N1 because if you take your temperature and if you temperature is higher than 37.6 you should go see a doctor to make sure that you do not have the virus.I am going to wash my hands after and before I eat, after using the toilet i am going to wash my hands and when i cough or sneeze i cover my mouth.
