My Reaction - How the world deals with Swine Flu outbreak


My reaction:
After the Swine Flu outbreak, every country cooperates with each other in order to reducing the number of infection in world’ population. This is a huge challenge of all earthman.


1. As the original of Swine Flu, Mexico, government ordered to close government office and business; school, museum, restaurant, public venues etc. for 5 days in order to cut off number of spreading out and infection of Swine Flu.


2. China, as experienced country with SARS in 2003, has quarantined tourists who come from the countries that have been reporting as an infected area. Moreover it refuses to import pork from those countries.


3. Mexican and Chinese were sent back to their home town as part of the repatriation deal between the two governments.


4. In United States, more than 500 schools have been closing especially in New York where the highest number of confirmed case was found. But they plan to reopen those schools in this week after clear with sanitary system.


5. WHO raised alert level to level five last week after person-to-person infected case was found. The organization sent some 2.4 million courses of anti-viral Tamiflu drugs to every country for battle with Swine Flu.


6. Hong Kong has quarantined tourists who may infect Swine Flu in the hotel for a week. This action will isolate people who got infection from other, after there’s the first confirmed disease in Hong Kong.


7. Every country has set Thermo scan machine in their airport which is the primary surveillance for every visitor.
