H1N1 Di Malaysia

1. Adakah jumlah kes yang dilaporkan tepat? Jika dibandingkan dengan maklumat WHO (6 Ogos 2009), jumlah kes di "South East Asia" adalah 12 ribu orang, manakala di Malaysia adalah 4,425 - Berita Harian Selasa, 18 Ogos 2009. Peratusan adalah 36.89%. Angka kematian WHO dalam laporan yang sama adalah 83 dan bandingkan dengan jumlah kematian di Malaysia 64 orang. Katakan jumlah laporan WHO meningkat kepada 100 pada 18 Ogos, jumlah kematian di Malaysia mewakili lebih 60% bagi South East Asia.

2. Apakah sebenarnya yang sedang Kementerian Kesihatan lakukan? Sebagai masyarakat awam, saya tak nampak langkah-langkah yang sedang dilakukan sebagai contoh yang dinyatakan di akhbar - pemantauan (apa yang dipantau, bagaimana ianya dilakukan etc)

3. Dimaklumkan melalui hebahan media, akan berlaku gelombang kedua menjelang Oktober, November dan Disember ini, namun tidak dinyatakan apakah langkah membendungnya.

4. Adakah rakyat masih memandang remeh perkara ini walaupun WHO memberi amaran 2 juta rakyat negara ini mempunyai peluang dijangkiti?

Mari kita fikirkan dan bertindak seperlunya.

Sesal dahulu pendapatan, sesal kemudia tidak berguna. Doa kepada Allah adalah sebaik-baik pelindung.

Nota :

South East Asia - Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, East Timor,Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore.

Ada sahabat yang dijangkiti H1N1 tetapi dirawat sebagai pesakit luar, betul ke?

*Given that countries are no longer required to test and report individual cases, the number of cases reported actually understates the real number of cases.

Qualitative indicators (as of Week 30: 20 July - 26 July 2009 and Week 31: 27 July - 2 August 2009)

As a part of WHO ongoing efforts to monitor the pandemic, qualitative indicators were developed to accommodate several types of data sources. Using these indicators, countries at different stages of the pandemic can participate in the monitoring effort, regardless of their surveillance and laboratory capacity. The qualitative indicators monitor: the global geographic spread of influenza, trends in acute respiratory diseases, the intensity of respiratory disease activity, and the impact of the pandemic on health-care services.
