According to CNN as of late Sunday, Mexican health officials reported 568 cases and 22 fatalities linked to the flu. WHO says it has confirmed 506 cases and 19 deaths in Mexico.
The world has 898 confirmed cases of the virus, known to scientists H1N1 virus, in a total of 18 countries, WHO said Sunday.
The United States has reported 226 confirmed cases in 30 states. The U.S. cases include one death — a Mexican toddler visiting relatives in the United States.
According to WHO, Canada has 70 confirmed cases; the United Kingdom has 15; Spain has 13; Germany has 6; New Zealand has 4; Israel has 3; France has 2; and Austria, China, South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Costa Rica and Ireland each have one.
This is getting very very serious and really scary so please everyone take care of yourselves! And let us all pray for those who are afflicted with H1N1 Virus (and those with other health problems) and pray, pray real hard that the Philippines, our country will be free of this virus. I know there are some cases here that are being monitored and if ever the virus will spread, that’s the scariest thing because we are not ready. We all know that we are not ready, even if the government says we are, but truly we are not! Cases being monitored and the Department of Health needed the help of other countries because we don’t have the capability to identify if it’s the H1N1 Virus or just an ordinary flu (the symptoms are almost the same) so it’s very difficult.
I pray to God that a vaccine or a medicine will be available soon to cure those who have the virus and it will be over. Pray people, pray!
