Swine Flu in Thailand!?!

As we all know a swine flu outbreak is now spreading in Mexico and threatening to turn into pandemic. The Public Health Ministry ordered an emergency watch. Is there a high alert for swine flu here in this country?

Whew, I'm relieved...Recently the ministry announced that there's no need to panic for the dangerous strain of virus is not found in Thailand! Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai urged people to stay calm, saying the H1N1 viral breed which had caused the disease in Mexico had never been reported here. However, under regular procedures, medical assistance was on standby and would be provided to any sick foreign visitor, but those with apparent flu would be on the A list for treatment, upon request.

Swine flu can attack both wild hogs and farm pigs, or other types of swine, he said, adding that the H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2 strains possibly found in Thailand could not be transferred to humans.

I'm so glad for this good news. It's a wake up call for us Christians to always be on alert and pray unceasingly.
