High risk infection to person yg smooking, has atshma, children, pregnant woman

Beginner stage
Batuk, selsema, demam, sakit tekak, bila terbesin bunyi tak kuat...

Second Stage
Susah bernafas, simtom macam asthma but not asthma, at this stage if you touch the person, or breath in the same room 80% boleh kena...masa ni kena kuarantin...at hospital. Masalahnya sekarang dah ramai yg kena. hospital tak cukup katil & bilik kuarantin...Bila u pengsan macam nak mati baru dia org admitted.macam kes adik I.
Critical
Lung infection. Bila X ray we can see the virus covered the lung. Like my brother case. Very scary bila tengok x ray tu. At this stage u need oksigen with highest level, Strongest antivral..very high drug. At least 7 days oksigen kena bagi. % to recover depend to age, imune badan u. That's why kalau baby atau budak2 susah nak kata...normally die. My brother hari ni genap 8 hari..still need oksigen. Kesian dia. Masa tahap critical tu tercungap2 dia bernafas, sampai menangis..Sampai satu tahap dia berguling atas simen sbb dah tak tahan...sampai dia give up ..sampai dia blh cakap lebih baik Allah ambik nyawa dia...Itu lelaki tu..imagine kalau pompuan atau budak2. We all cuma blh tengok dia dari cermin...tak blh masuk dlm bilik kuarantin...Dr & nurse aje boleh masuh...siap pakai baju plastik. To support him, what we did bagi sms, bagi dia alquran biar dia baca so that dia tenang, bagi tasbih biar dia zikir ingat Allah & bagi Air yasin...Alhamdulillah pastu dia ok sikit.Ada hikmahnya...All the family member unite to support my brother fighting the virus.
Masalahnya hospital swasta tak terima H1N1 case, sekarang ni semua depend hospital kerajaan yg most of the doctors still young . The oldest dr in my brother ward was 28 years. All the Otai dah pergi private. Lepas tu plak this is the first time to treat H1N1 patient. At the same time dr bz with other case as well...1 doktor 5 patient...kat gov hospital...kesian dr2 tu...berhempas pulas nak selamatkan patient. I appreciate them, mmg very appreciate dia org jaga adik i dgn baik sekali..So far hospital Ampang is the best goverment hospital yg i jumpa..very efficient.Very quick action ..Even senior dia org dah pergi private & they don't have much experience , dia org tetap work hard give the best treatment to the patients..sampai tak balik rumah...tidor kat hospital.
Rasa nak peluk & cium dia org sebab selamatkan adik I...Thanks to Allah

Lina,
Nak dpt pandangan since u dh ada pengalaman. Apa symptom virus ni? Melalui pembacaan dan rakaman berita, seolah2 tiada symptom yg khusus terutama demam. Demam x teruk pun bole dp jangkitan. Boleh share info tak? Pengalaman family berhadapan ngan virus ini. J

Take care & be careful with H1N1. Virus tu very strong...sape kena...memang suffer nak recover...No vaksin..cuma ada antiviral & our mental warrior to fight them. Very genius virus..Can hide in our body...difficult to detect. Only can detect thru swap which the cost is 1K above. Unable detected in blood as well. When they start action...Can kill the person if the body imune does not strong. For those have baby atau anak2, U & ur family do not go to crowded place, better wear mask when u outside from home. The vaksin will come to Msia in Nov-Dec. So far yg I nampak..hanya lelaki dewasa can fight the virus...woman might be 70% , children most probably will die.


Take care You & Your Family

Misteri bau aneh di kawasan rumahku terjawab ...

Sejurus selepas pulang dari KLIA menghantar isteri terchenta balik ke kampung halaman menjenguk ibu mertua ku yg sedang dalam recovery mode selepas operation, aku dgn imaan seperti biasa melayan kartun di astro tiba-tiba satu aroma menyusuk kalbu, menggetarkan hidungku menyelubungi seluruh rumahku. Puas aku carik punca bauan yang agak aneh dan meloyakan diseluruh pelusuk rumah namun tak jumpa-jumpa. Sampah dah dibuang, peti ais baru saja dicuci, bilik air masih berkilat, entah apakah bauan yg tiba-tiba saja menjelma dlm hidupku di ptg ahad ini? Macam-macam imaginasi dalam fikiranku. Aku hampir give-up, bo layan saja terus duduk melayan astro. Imaan seperti biasa beraksi stone nye seolah-olah tiada effect. Imaan memakai baju mamanya (pengubat rindu) agak 'focussed' dgn kartunnya langsung tidak mempedulikan papanya yang semakin konfius mencari punca pencemaran alam.


Entah macam mana aku ke luar ke porch kereta. Cuba menjenguk jenguk bawah kereta isteri ku. Gagal tiada apa yg mencurigakan. Longkang ku survey namun takdak hapa pun. Aku tengok jiran sebelah tgh membasuh kereta pun buat dek je. Mungkin hidung dia tersumbat rasanye. Heran ibnu ajaiban. Manala datang bau sebegini rupa. Aku masuk ke ruang tamu terus layan kartun bersama anak ku imaan. Dok tak sampai 5 minit tak leh tahan. Misi mencari bermula lagi. Adoiiii! Tensennn!

Sekali lagi aku keluar ke porch kereta. Kali ini jauh lagi ku melangkah sampai ke luar gate depan. Jiran dah abeh basuh keter, dia dah masuk dalam umah. Memang idung tersumbat, langsung takdak effect. Bila saja aku bukak gate, ...

"..TUUU DIAAAAA!!"

".. TAKDAK AKHLAK PUNYA HAIYAWAAANNN!!!" ..

Ada 5 butir bom atom nuclear korea utara bertaburan depan umah aku!! MAK AIII!! .. Ada lagi puluhan rumah kat sini depan rumah aku juga dia tabur..! TAK GUNA PUNYA ANJINGGG!! .. Baunya Ya Rabbiiii! .. Kencing manis boleh dibuatnye. Dah la kawan karib depa buat hal sampai selsema satu dunia. Ini geng dia plak carik pasal dengan aku! Ceittt!!

Dengan berbekalkan dendam kesumat, aku terus mencari apparatus yang sesuai untuk buat operasi segera. Memang mencabar kejantanan. Adeh. Kayu sebatang + Penyedok sampah. Bayangkan bagaimana keperitan yang aku terpaksa lalui. Aku terpaksa menguis bom-bom durjana itu masuk ke dlm penyedok dengan berhati hati takut berkecai dan bersepah merata. Setelah berjaya dengan memakai kain pelikat dan t-shirt hitam kegemaran aku terus membawa object merbahaya ke longkang monsoon drain besar 50 meter dari kediamanku. Lemparan ku mengenai sasaran ke dalam longkang yg mengalir airnya. Dengan bangganya aku melihat arus longkang yang deras itu membawa bom-bom atom ke muara, aku harap hidupan air tawar tidak terjejas nanti.

Aku berharap satu hari nanti dapat aku tangkap pesalah yang tiada akhlak itu dan membawanya ke muka pengadilan. Ciss!!

Numbers are rising, ... keep counting.

"GENEVA, Switzerland, June 23 (UPI) -- The World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, says there have been 231 confirmed deaths worldwide attributed to the H1N1 virus."
(Source :http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2009/06/23/WHO-says-swine-flu-death-toll-at-231/UPI-25401245813265/ )

Wow! people are dying because of some virus attack on entire human population. The world keep counting on the numbers. Measures have been taken worldwide in every countries. This is serious. Fear is all over. Good luck to us mankind.

Well, where is the count for those who have died in a war? I guess hundred of thousands have died during the attack on Palestine for years, attack on Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and many parts of the world since then. It was total elimination of human life made by human themselves. Yet nobody cares until it was too late too count. At the end no count, no nothing. Rough figures? May be. But the thing is nobody care. If 231 death is frightening enough and the world is doing what ever they can to prevent more deaths then what about hundreds of thousands if not millions? Its insane...

Anyway, just a thought. Keep counting.

Imaan wat lawak ...

Gambar di atas, anak aku Imaan Amirah, recent posing kat umah tokbah. Masa on the way balik kampung imaan wat lawak antarabangsa. Sakit perot aku ngan wife gelak. Masa tu aku tgh drive ke KB @ Newcastle. Tiba-tiba imaan tanya ,
" mama kita kat malaysia lagi ke ni? . Bila nak sampai kampung?" ... kui kui kui ..
mama dgn selamba menjawab,
"A'ah kat mesia lagi, lambat lagi nak sampai.. tido la dulu.." kui kui kui ..
Lawak di situ. Sekian.
