FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY :)

Hello Lifeguards of NYP, it's me again. We received some bad news so now we're on HIGH RISK! Here's something which I find interesting and obviously it would be a big help to you, ALL OF YOU! H1N1 杀到我们家来了!!!

Influenza A (H1N1):

Just like the seasonal flu, Influenza A (H1N1) infection can vary in severity from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms of infection may include the following:

• High fever
• Cough
• Muscle pains
• Sore throat
• Fatigue or tiredness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting or diarrhoea

See a doctor if you have any of the above symptoms. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience the following warning signs:

• • Breathing difficulty
• • Confusion
• • Persistent vomiting
• • Sudden dizziness
• • Complications

Influenza A (H1N1) infection can be serious and life threatening. Deaths from pneumonia and respiratory failure have been reported with the flu infection.

Ways to protect yourself! :D

One of the ways to protect against Influenza A (H1N1) is to prevent its spread. Since the illness occurs through direct contact with infectious material and respiratory secretions, it is important to practise good personal hygiene. Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands

If you are sick, avoid crowded areas and wear a surgical mask. Stay at home and do not go to work or school

Seek treatment early if you have flu-like symptoms and if you had recently travelled to areas with cases of Influenza A (H1N1) infection

ps. any queries about medical terms, ask! You got tonnes of teammates from School of Health Sciences (SHS).

So now, we've been so called expose of whatever shit. Trainign at RP last Friday, some joker went to Butter Factory on Wed & came training and we'll be having a competition at NUS this Sat. So it's still best to keep ourselves in tip top condition for whatever that is coming, we don't want to be the first CCA to be suspended due to this pandemic. Relax and chill.

REST MORE & DRINK LOADS OF PLAIN WATER! GOODLUCK FOR COMPETITION PEOPLE! WE CAN DO IT!
