Week 4

* SWINE FLU

I can define the meaning about SWINE FLU. It is a kind of an infectious disease of a pig. These days, the swine flu has been frightened the world is beginning to look so bad. It started in Mexico, but It still has spread aloud a world. It is reason why the swine flu is dangerous to us. First, It can spread easily by contagious. Actually, almost expert say that It isn't dangerous than SARS, comparatively speaking, the many people will be have a heavy damage better than If they are contagious of SARS. Now, the infection progress at an alarming rate. Experts fear the disease could change into a human form that can infect from person to person and kill millions. However, the most of important thins who still didn't know how the swine flu cure perfectly. Time goes by, people will be die by this disease more and more. I worry about thins fact and think, some international health expert organization have to fine certain ways to cure this flu as soon as. Nobody still does not know how the SWINE FLU virus infected from animals to humans. We can't any action to cure the flu, but I think, we can prevent the disease If we know way of prevention. I know this proverb. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure " This video shows a symptoms of swine flu and way of prevention.




Dr. Joe Bresee with CDC's influenza Division talk about the symptoms of swine flu infections. Symptoms are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu. He means, the flu is similar cold include fever, cough, body aches, headache. He say, If you become ill, whether swine flu testing of treatment is need. The symptoms includes fast breathing of trouble breathing, bluish skin color, not drinking enough fluids, not waking up of not interacting. In adult case, Emergency warning signs are difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, pain or pressure in the chest, sudden dizziness and confusion. There are many symptoms when we got swine flu. If we show some symptom, we have to go hospital and order antiviral drugs these are prescription medicines. It can make you feel better faster. Also, he talk about prevention of the flu. If you get sick with swine flu, you have to stay home from work of school and limit contact with others. The easy prevention way is avoiding. Don't touch your eyes, noes, or mouth because germs can spread that way so fast. And the one way that can prevent the swine flu cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. When I heard this sentence, I decide to take a tissue. It is certain fact that SWINE FLU is dangerous disease to us. However, If we protect ourselves through a prevention way, It is going to be okay : )


* kitten found inside Marijuana Bong



It is really an shocking article. Acea Schomaker put marijuana inside his cat. the cat is almost six months old. when the police find the cat, she has some marijuana under the his bed. I think, his action is so crazy why he is a drug addict but his cat is not a addict. When I see the news, I hate a human. God make human and animal. They have a same right to live, so have to take care each other. Most people think that usually animal is their own. However, It is not true perfectly. I can see the many negative comment under the article. Sometimes, we can listen a special story that is human's surviving of animal helping. Human can many thing to help to animal. If I am a the cat, totally I want to be die.
I think, this bad action must be disappeared as soon as possible. So terrible !!!!
