Measures against Bird Flu

In 1918, the Spanish Flu, also originated from birds, killed a total of 40 million people. The reason was because it had mutated to a form, which was transmitted from human to human.

In 2003, Avian Flu got contagious and there were, first, outbreaks on chickens at Vietnam then in Indonesia. But, unfortunately later in Thailand, it exacerbated to take away the life of a 6-year-old boy. Researches proved the Spanish Flu having a mortality rate of 2% while the Avian Flu 50%.

Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. Wild birds all over the world carry the viruses in their intestines. It not only contaminates poultry and animals (birds), but also us-- Humans. However, until now, we are relieved that the Avian Flu had not been transmuted to a human-to-human infection; so precautions are even more important now.

Lee Jong-Wook, the WHO director general, had advised countries to stockpile antiviral dugs like Tamiflu, Relenza and positioning them at high-risk areas. These vaccines attack the influenza virus and stop it from spreading inside the body. He added that intensifying efforts in vaccine, development and planning for massive economic and social disruptions are all necessary.

With these, I considered that the Singapore Government did adequate for the prevention of the Avian Flu. Yet, we should not be too reliable on them to be responsible for our health. Everyone should have an important role to play. We, students are required to check the condition of our thermometers and to be reported to the school.

Adding on, I felt that we should be concerned and knowledgeable about the symptoms of bird-flu. When the symptoms strike, we must always be vigilant and seek for medication aid if the symptoms prolonged for three or four days.

Still, the intake we attain everyday is also a crucial element. We should try to consume food that is fully cooked, especially dishes of eggs, chickens, ducks and turkeys, as heating the food can kill most bacteria and decrease the chance of Avian Flu. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet are also vital. Consuming of fruits, vegetables and milk can build up our immune system and they contain useful minerals for our bodies.

I believe in keeping fit. Exercising strengthen our bodies, improve the radiance on our face and freshen our mind. I am sure a stronger-bodied can 'fight' illnesses better than anyone else.

Last of all, we should never touch or play with birds, even their faeces or feathers because these may still contain germs or viruses that may be transmittable. If you do happen to handle them, wash your hands thoroughly with soap -- IMMEDIATELY!!!
