Earlier today, I have received several awareness-dispersing text messages, all stating that there is already an influenza A (H1N1) virus casualty at Jose B. Lingad Memorial Hospital (JBL) in San Fernando, Pampanga and said that the victim is from Angeles city. All of us at home were alarmed when I told everyone about the bad news. Though it is not yet totally confirmed, we should all be aware of this as prevention always is better than cure.
Since influenza A (H1N1) as any other virus is air-borne, we must be very cautious especially when we go to public places. If necessary, wear face masks so that the air you breathe will be filtered adding up to your safety. And also, let's all make it a habit to wash our hands religiously because most of the time we unintentionally touch our mouth either by eating or mannerisms.
Should you feel any of the symptoms of this virus, immediately go to the nearest hospital and have everything screened on you so that it can be treated on its early stage.

My sister confirmed that there is a suspected h1n1 virus patient at JBL. However, JBL refused to admit this patient instead they have suggested to bring the patient to Manila as JBL employees/staff are not that well trained to treat this kind of virus yet.
Anyway, prevention is always better than the cure so we should all be aware of this issue.
thanks for the info jem! ^_^
stay safe.. :)
We do not have to panic, since our government already learn a thing or two with the SARS outbreak (last 2002 if I'm not mistaken)
anyway... as you can see or read on the news, the first reported swine flu aka influenza A (H1N1) is already recovering and in good condition.
just avoid places where people who just came abroad and you'll be Ok.
btw.. thanks for the visit.. and comment. ;)

We are currently affiliated in the said institution. Felt panic upon receiving the news, but a trusted person (in the name of confidentiality) never believed the news for the reason that the institution involved cannot diagnose AH1N1 case. He told us only San Lazaro Hospital (Center for Communicable diseases) could. Although there may be truth in the rumor that someone presenting manifestations same as those seen in AH1N1 had been admitted but REFERRED to Manila for treatment. We never know. However, I heard just this morning that a person presenting the signs and symptoms of AH1N1 is confined in the hospital. We never really know the truth unless it came from an authorized person. LOL.Whatever the truth is, we, being future healthcare providers, exercise preventive measures. If the rapidly circulating news is true, I wonder why no alert is being signaled by our school, this somehow gives me a sense of security and put me in a "not-to-panic" mode. Hope the truth will soon be known so people know what to expect. It is so unfair playing the guessing game when you know you are at risk. What's even alarming is the thought of cross-contamination. What if I myself became exposed and transferred the causative agent to innocent people like my family?
@imvalrivers.. yeah, thanks for sharing your thoughts.. i understand your point.. let's just pray for our safety and health.. :)

SAN Fernando City Mayor Oscar Rodriguez and Department of Health (DOH) Regional Director Rio Magpantay stressed that there are no cases of swine flu at the Jose B. Lingad Regional Memorial Hospital (JBLRMH) or anywhere in the city.
In fact, there is no swine flu case in Pampanga.
