Global Pandemic: Swine Flu

NOT CHILD’S PLAY Alexa Zuniga wears a surgical maskMEXICO CITY—Mexico readied a “temporarily closed” sign—taking the drastic step of ordering a suspension of nonessential federal government and private business activity as it tried to squelch a swine flu epidemic.

The World Health Organization ratcheted up an alert to Phase 5 and warned that “all of humanity” is threatened.

The dire warning showed that health officials are very worried about the potential for massive numbers of deaths worldwide from the mutated virus, even though the epidemic so far has claimed only a confirmed eight lives in Mexico and one in the United States. Roughly 170 deaths are suspected of having been caused by the virus in Mexico.

Switzerland and the Netherlands on Thursday became the latest countries to report a swine flu infection.

Swiss authorities said a 19-year-old student was stricken with the virus but was mistakenly released from a hospital and then hastily readmitted.

The Dutch government confirmed the country’s first case—a 3-year-old child who recently returned from Mexico.

Isa ito sa mga artworks kong ilalabas sa mga susunod na araw. Mga painting na mag-iisip ka muna bago mo malaman ang tunay na kahulugan at tunay na title.

Not sure of the other IT guys here. Just like any cellphones, the Huawei USB modem can also be unlocked so you can use other sim cards. Globe Tattoo Broadband is the best in its class because it allows you to make phone calls aside from sending and receiving text messages. However, if you're stocked in an island (or building in my case) and there's no 3G signal, you wont be able to benefit the fast connection. To unlock your Huawei usb modem (any brand will do), you need to download 2 applications. The code calculator and the writer. 1. The Code Calculator can be downloaded here .

I haven't been able to blog or tweet lately. Not because I don't have enough time. I'm good at time management, that is. However, I want something that will enable me to do 3 task at the same time. Like being able to blog, tweet and post status in my Facebook . I found out about Tumblr. Its very simple and pretty. Its just my personal journal so I'm not expecting followers. lol...  I wish I can update my blog with Tumblr too or vice versa...
