Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 is a very dangerous virus that can be easily transmitted through the air.Since the first pandemic in 1968,WHO has declared this H1N1 pandemic moving the alert level to phase 6.It has spreaded worldwide with the most serious cases happening in United States of America follow by Mexico and then Canada. (statistics happening base on WHO report,updated 1 July 2009.)
In Malaysia, the number of cases has increased to 112.(updated 1 July 2009).Malaysian government urged all the people to take care of hygienic and to avoid traveling if unnecessary.There are no rules to prohibit people from traveling whether to oversea or local.But it is best to stay away from crowded areas.
People are advised to wear mask if they suffer any normal flu.This is because human immunity is decreased when they are sick.So they can be easily infected if not wearing mask.However,we should have a sight of relief as the disease is under control now.Government has taken various action to bring it under control.
I am sure for not long the disease will be a history.It is quite sad that the disease has spreaded over here.The economy just started to recover from downturn then the disease strike in. Businessmans of the hotel,and tourism industry will be greatly afftected by the downturn of the economy and also of the influenza.Whoever has extra cash and apply wait and see situation they will bounce back.But the matter is when the economy will recover.H
Having a meal for a plate of economy rice is already about Rm4-Rm5 and a drink that costs about Rm1.50-RM2 is considered too high for most of us.How the business going to sustain for a certain time of period like 1 year if they do not have enough asset to hold on their stall/shops????Rent is not cheap too nowadays.
For a lower income group,they will have to tighten their belts to survive.For high income groups,I think they can sustain longer and can bring back their business to normal.How about for middle income?They will suffer the most I guess.Having a comfortable day can put aside.Switching on the air-cond 3 hours per day might cut down to 1 hour.With the current weather and the haze many of them will suffer.Lower income does not has much different.Some of the lower income groups even worse.They might be cutting 1 meal a day for the entire family.They are highly exposed to the environment which they hardly to live on.
