One thing I would like to express here is, there is no need for panic for H1N1. Even though there are some death from Novel H1N1 in the world, the mortality rate (death rate) is very low, even lower than the seasonal flu. The novel H1N1 influenza is a very mild disease and most people recover without any complication. Just stay home and take a rest. And the use of face mask does not prevent you from getting the disease. WHO does not recommend use of mask in the public to prevent the disease. However, the best strategy is to avoid the crowded places (buses, supermarkets, stage shows). If you have fever and any of the following, headache, eye pain, muscle and joint pain, sneeze, cough, runny nose, go and see the doctor, take a rest, don’t go to school or work. You will recover within a few days without any problem. Don’t panic. And no need to be afraid.

Editor’s Translation: “There is also an unknown disease that occurs in Mon State, in Mudon and other towns. In Mudon, half the population, both children and adults had the disease. The clinical features are high fever, sneezing, cough, lymph node enlargements all over the body and red spots. Is it H1N1. Please answer.”
