H1N1: It's getting out of hand..in Malaysia

Guong

It was May 15th that Malaysia got her first H1N1 case. 4 month have pass since then yet the death rate in Malaysia is 4 times the global fatality rate?

Why does other countries such as India have lesser fatality cases (24 deaths) compared to Malaysia? Something must have gone terribly wrong.

From what I've observed for the past months,
  1. Schools were still opened even though there are cases of H1N1 infected students reported.
  2. People still went for the movies. Transformers, Ice Age 3, Harry Potter, G.I Joe to name a few.
  3. One can see only a few wear the surgical mask when shopping, commuting or traveling. Airports included.
  4. Misleading info not long ago about how H1N1 spread due to 'name conflict'.
Now, as a citizen, the only thing we can do are to stay healthy and practice good hygiene. Forget the Mega Sell Carnival 2009.

And for all of the politicians out there, please don't politicize this pandemic.
