Swine influenza, the culprit!

Plans are withheld! Amendments may fall in. The culprit behind these is the SWINE INFLUENZA VIRUS.

With just a small corner in the newspaper reporting about some kind of flu virus suspected days back, the news grew and now, it's the hot topic everywhere. This flu virus was found to have undergone mutation and emerged as a virus carrying strains from pig, bird and human. To make things worse, human-human transmission is documented. No vaccine for it yet. And with the decision by WHO to increase the warning of becoming a pandemic outbreak up to phase 4 (2 more phases away from declaration of a full pandemic outbreak), it's understood why people are showing more concern on the issue and fearing for the worse. Here, let us keep our fingers crossed that vaccines will be developed, there won't be a pandemic outbreak and the whole swine influenza situation will be under controlled. Save the world!


With this outbreak going on, getting more and more serious by days, my trips out of Malaysia are set on a shaky edge. Cancellation of plans is a MAYBE but no decision is made. Well, I guess what I can do is just waiting and seeing how things are progressing.
