Taken in brother's car after back from the clinic... This is during peak time with H1N1 cases but I'm not 1 of them... Alhamdulillah! Me safe!
Since the outbreak of influenza H1N1, we try not to go to Public Place or open space which most of the time crowded with people from all over the world. No more visits to the favourite restaurant even...So its about time to renew my skill in the kitchen...:D
The Big Tiger Prawn brought back from Sabah by my Husband, eight pieces per kilo, such a huge size we can hardly find it in our Local wet market. Not to mention the price we have to pay for it. Okay...so we dip our taste bud deep into it, try not to think of the Cholesterol, fats, salt and other bad stuff!...Food fiesta before the fasting month....:D

over the heads of states it flew
from one country to another
as it grew
born in Mexico
strange but true
a scourge of god
called the swine flu
on its path people slew
how why what
yet no clue
face masks
deathly hue
silenced lips
among the few
people standing
in a queue
the line to the morgue
a motley crew
what you eat
is what you spew
save the Muslim and the Jew
save the vegetarian Hindu
forbidden flesh
a pact renew
give the devil
his deathly due
missing pork
in the stew
The swine flu outbreak (2009) refers to the spread among humans of a new strain of H1N1 swine influenza virus. The outbreak is believed to have begun in March 2009.[45] Local outbreaks of an influenza-like illness were first detected in three areas of Mexico, but the the outbreak was not clinically identified as a new strain until April 24, 2009. Its presence was soon confirmed in various Mexican states and Mexico City. Within days isolated cases (and suspected cases) began to appear elsewhere in Mexico, the U.S., and several other Northern Hemisphere countries. By April 28, the new strain was confirmed to have spread to other regions. Countries with confirmed cases included Spain, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Israel, and the virus was suspected in many other nations, including South Korea and Austria, with over 3,000 candidate cases, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise its pandemic alert level to phase 4.[46][47] A phase 4 warning means that the WHO considers that there is "sustained human to human transmission"; whereas phases 5 and 6 represent "widespread human infection". Despite the scale of the alert, the WHO stated on April 29 that the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without need of medical attention or antiviral drugs.[48] Until April 29, all cases were said to be people who lived in or had been to Mexico, but on this date Spain confirmed a case of a person who had not traveled to Mexico.[49]
The new strain is an apparent reassortment of several strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which analysis at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified as a strain endemic in humans, a strain endemic in birds, and two strains endemic in American and Eurasian pigs (swine).[50]
In late April both the United Nations WHO and the U.S. CDC expressed serious concern about the situation, as it had the potential to become a flu pandemic due to the novelty of the influenza strain, its transmission from human to human, and the unusually high mortality rate in Mexico.[51] On April 25, 2009, the WHO formally determined the situation to be a "public health emergency of international concern", with knowledge lacking in regard to "the clinical features, epidemiology, and virology of reported cases and the appropriate responses".[52] Government health agencies around the world also expressed concerns over the outbreak and are monitoring the situation closely.
On April 24, 2009, Mexico's schools, universities, and all public events were closed until May 6, 2009.[53][54] A few schools in the U.S. closed due to confirmed cases in students.[55][56]
I have been trying very hard to make a crochet covered stone at least every day or so through the month of November for a very special "big" project. Here you see what I have make so far this week.
Influenza A(H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenzavirus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006.[1] Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza).
In June 2009, World Health Organization declared that flu due to a new strain of swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. This strain is commonly called "swine flu" by the public media.
so, to catch you up on the last few days, because i really haven't said anything in my latest pictures. our school has been closed since thursday morning due to....H1N1!
i'm not even sure what the symptoms of swine flu are. and half the people who are sick with stomach virus aren't positive it really is swine flu, they are just all panicking about it. so the schools close....and i spend the next four days happy at home, yay!
i dont' really even care that i look like such a mess here, because i just got home from some of the most meaningful and important work i've ever done, from 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. it's called "operation serve" and we basically renovate houses for the poor, free of charge. it was crazy some of the things i saw, right here in my own town! i never knew people had to live like that. it was really eye-opening and also really sad. one of the little girl's room that i repainted didn't even have a bed to sleep on: she slept on a pile of dirty clothes in the corner of this tiny room she shared with three other siblings. there were so many cats and other little animals we had to round up, and they all had left their messes. there was no running water.
it's days like today that i'm proud to be a part of hope club, because we actually do things like this. i wish i could have seen that little girl's face when she came home to her new "extreme-makeover" house....
so no, i'm not regretting this messy-haired, red-faced 365 one bit. :)
"the assimilation of concepts into a governing framework...[the] arrogation, confiscation, [or] seizure of concepts." According to Tracy B Strong it contains the Latin root proprius, which, "carries the connotations not only of property, but also of proper, stable, assured and indeed of common or ordinary."

Basically... People now feels comfortable enough with the H1N1 to start joking. It is part of our daily lives now.

Apropiación: La asimilación de conceptos dentro del marco referencial imperante... la confiscación o asimilación de conceptos. De acuerdo con Tracy B Strong, contiene la raíz latina "proprius", que tiene la connotación no sólo de propiedad sino de propio, estable, asegurado y, de hecho, común o cotidiano.

The hotel guests wearing masks wait outside a hotel , after a guest staying there was confirmed to be suffering from swine flu, in Hong Kong on May 1, 2009.
Hong Kong reported its first confirmed case of swine flu, Chief Executive Donald Tsang said. 'We have our first confirmed swine flu case in Hong Kong. He is Mexican,' Tsang told reporters. The Mexican arrived in Hong Kong on April 30, from Mexico via Shanghai, Tsang said. He was admitted to hospital on Thursday night suffering fever and tested positive on Friday for swine flu. He was in stable condition, Tsang said. The hotel in Wanchai district where he had been staying had been cordoned off, he said.
I was discussing H1N1 with a bioinformatics friend of mine last weekend, and we ended up talking about ways that epidemiologists model transmission of disease. I wondered how some of the information that is shared voluntarily on social networks might be used to build useful models of various kinds.
I'm also interested in visualizing information that isn't implicitly shared - but instead is inferred or suggested.

I'm not entirely sure where this will end up going, but I am reasonably happy with the results so far.

During SARS in 2003 - many locals of Beijing did not know the full extent of the disease until one break away leader, Wu Yi (the only female in the top China cabinet) blew the whistle on the full scale of the situation.
After that, a very strong public opinion developed that "Foreigners" were the cause of the problem, and that foreigners brought in the disease (Because we live and sleep with wild animals outside China you see).
For someone who has witnessed SARS first hand and now pig flu (H1N1) - the out stretched arm at maximum distance and profiling of the foreigner for testing and not a local brings back many of the memories of SARS and how stigma, stereotype and prejudice are very effective tools for use in an act of political "spin".

Dedicated to Angelina as she heals from the H1N1 virus. I pray for quick healing for you and that the virus doesn't move on. (visit her stream www.flickr.com/photos/vela76 )
As for the rest of us, please, please, please stay home if you come down with flu symptoms. The spread of this flu is expected to be widespread this fall and the best way to combat it is to not pass it on.
"School officials sent home 35 to 40 Forestview High School students Wednesday.
Some of those students have swine flu, also known as novel virus H1N1, according to Gaston County Health Director Colleen Bridger."
I know the H1N1 flu isn't all that much worse than the regular seasonal flu, but I'm still freaking out.
I mean, how often does my small town make national news?

Sen. Moore received his H1N1 influenza vaccination at the Tri-River Family Health Center, encouraging the prevention of the disease from becoming an epidemic, and preparing for the last month of flu season. Giving Sen. Moore a tour of the Center was Dr. William Muller (right of Sen. Moore).
Well, it's here. The H1N1 vaccine. We only have the "attenuated live" nasal spray at the moment, the IM version (shot) will arrive in about a week. Frankly, I really wanted to wait for the shot but was encouraged to go ahead with the nasal spray. I duly "took my medicine" as I should. Certain groups of people are unable to take the nasal spray and it's only right that the IM version be distributed to them.
I've already seen multiple patients with "Flu like symptoms" that we assume have the H1N1. Why assume? The CDC is not recommending testing at this point for several reasons, the most important one being that the flu swab has a whopping rate of false negatives! So, if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, lays duck eggs... yeah, it's a duck.
As for treatment, well.. here in the States Tamiflu is being given to pregnant women and children 2 and under with "flu like symptoms". Everyone else is supposed to tough it out I guess? I know from a flickr friend in the UK that everyone there with the flu gets Tamiflu.
So, I've taken my (somewhat controversial) dose of H1N1 vaccine. I'll let you know how it goes. I had the flu once when I was 15 years old and remember it WELL! It was horrid.
I'm working a crazy shift all weekend that takes up most of my day. I'll do my best to visit all your awesome photostreams when I can though.
**NOTE** The vaccine is not yet available to the general public (I only know about the US). My dose was given because I'm a medical provider.

NATIONAL BIODEFENSE STRATEGY: Additional Efforts Would Enhance Likelihood of Effective Implementation
Today I was tired and achy and did not want to go to school. Long story short, I got sent home with the possibility of H1N1 virus (swine flu), and didn't go to any of my classes. Blessing in disguise? More on the blog.
