There are currently over 74 cases of swine flu in the country.
Which is huge since our first 3 cases reported only a few weeks ago.
As I posted before I never saw anyone wear masks to go anywheres, I guess that is something to think about now that we are getting close to a hundred cases.
Even when the amount of cases started growing extremely fast there were no signs of people wearing masks or any other kind of preventive actions.
Of course, in hospitals and all kinds of health places people are wearing masks and gloves.
In a desperate action to prevent the spreading of the disease the Education Ministry fast forwarded the 'middle year' vacation coming in just a few days for all the children in the country because most of the new cases were taking place in public and private schools.
We as med students cannot show up at the hospitals unless we have something very important going on. We are being saved in case the flu goes out of control.
A 12 year old boy died last week. He was thought to have died from kidney failure but after the doctors runned some test the A H1N1 was confirmed.
If you are out there, keep washing your hands and avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth before washing your hands. Oh and stop going to places with big crowds and kissing and touching other people's hands!
