flu is serious stuff谢谢了,不用你替我想办法。你能有啥好办法,大不了都是些馊主意。
不过我理解你说的意思,有些传染病确实是不能掉以轻心的。自己一旦得了,一定注意不要传染其他人。但是感冒确实是不同,因为感冒病菌太普遍了,防不胜防。再说一旦得了,也真的没什么大碍。
January 3, 2014 UPDATE: 2013-2014 Seasonal influenza
Since November 2013, the Public Health Agency of Canada has received a number of reports of illness caused by the influenza AH1N1 flu virus among young and middle-aged adults. The H1N1 flu virus strain was first identified in 2009, caused the H1N1 influenza pandemic and is still circulating in Canada and other countries including the United States.
The H1N1 flu virus strain is known to cause more illness in younger individuals, compared to older adults. Most of the flu illness seen so far this season is due to H1N1 flu virus. Although the number of flu cases being reported is not unusual, more severe illness resulting in hospitalization is being observed in those with H1N1 flu virus. Public health authorities are continuing to monitor the situation.
It is not too late to receive a flu shot. All Canadians are encouraged to get vaccinated against the flu to protect themselves and their families as vaccination is the best protection available against flu. The 2013/14 seasonal flu vaccine provides protection against a number of flu viruses, including the H1N1 flu virus strain. Even if you received the H1N1 flu shot or had H1N1 influenza during the pandemic in 2009,you cannot assume you are still protected. You still need to get this season’s flu shot to protect against this season’s flu.
More information related to seasonal flu, including flu clinics near you, and other methods of prevention, can be found at fightflu.ca. Information for Health Professionals and the Seasonal Flu Public Health Reminder are also available.
Influenza or the flu is a common, infectious respiratory disease that begins in your nose and throat. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly from person to person. It is estimated that in a given year an average of 12,200 hospitalizations related to influenza may occurFootnote 1; and that approximately 3,500 deaths attributable to influenza occur annuallyFootnote 2.
Fighting the flu is a public health priority and something that all Canadians can contribute to
