Swine Flu (Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Virus)…..

Swine Flu … a nightmare all over.
Swine flu is a respiratory illness of pigs caused by infection with
swine influenza A virus (H1NI) that can occasionally affect humans.

Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those caused by other influenza
viruses. These include fever and chills, coughing, sore throat, and fatigue.
Sometimes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can occur.. It is not possible to
distinguish swine flu from “regular” influenza on the basis of
symptoms alone. The symptoms of swine flu can also vary in severity among
affected individuals.



As we all know Swine flu has affected many cities throughout
the North America. People have reason to
panic. However, instead of panicking it’s better to think calmly about the best
way to protect yourself and your loved ones from infection.



Experts have found few ways through which one can protect from
such disease, which are simple & can be easily done at home like; wash your
hands properly by using a good amount of soap and warm water. As well, use
paper towels to turn off the tap so that you don’t recontaminate you hands.
Anti-bacterial soap is recommended.

Use of Mask are advised by the experts although masks are
not 100% effective as virus as often too small to be blocked from entering your
longs.



Although there is no vaccine available for swine (H1N1) flu,
ongoing work by several laboratories is likely to produce a vaccine later this
year.



However the three suspected cases of Swine Flu in India test
negative, but there is always a fear.
If you have any such symptom like: - fever, cough fatigue, soar throat,
vomiting etc,which are very similar to regular influenza…go straight away to
the doctor & get thoroughly checked for the disease. Let us take all
the necessary steps to protect from such disease.



“Precaution is better than Cure”

A very Good Optimistic Message To All

Once
there was a small kid on earth. One fine day it came to know that god is
distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. The kid was so happy to
receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple
from god. There was a big queue standing to get apple from god and this kid also
joined in that queue. While it was standing, it was fully excited and thrilled
for the fact that it is going to receive in person from god’s hands. Its turn
too came and the kid showed its both the hands to receive apple. God gave the
apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn’t hold that big apple. Apple fell
down and got wasted in mud. The kid got so disappointed. The ministers near the
god informed that if the kid likes to have an apple from god again then it has
to again follow the queue. Having waited for so long the kid didn’t want to
return back to earth with empty hands so it decided to wait again in the queue.

This
time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. While waiting in
queue, the kid could see lot of people who returns back with apple in hands and
utmost satisfaction on their faces. The kid was so much disappointed and thought
why me alone didn’t get the apple in hand when all others were easily able to
get it. What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. Now the kid
was so scared that it should not miss the apple again. Again its turn came and
god gave the apple to the kid’s hands and after giving the apple god spoke to
the kid.

“My
dear child, last time after giving you the apple only I noticed the apple I gave
to you was a rotten apple and that’s why I made that to fell down from your
hands. Having given you a rotten apple, I felt bad for you and I wanted to give
you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was
growing and that’s why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. Here it
is. Now the apple that you have in hand is ‘The Best’ apple in the farm till to
date. Enjoy.”

So,
friends, sometimes it happens as even after we put our 100% dedication and
commitment things may get delayed or things may go wrong. Believe that god has
something great for us and that’s why this has happened. Always say, ‘Gratitude is absolutely the best way to bring more in
one’s life’.

Believe
this and see the world… Your world will also look green..
