H1N1 Virus in Indonesia

Did you know that H1N1 virus had been attackted Indonesia in 1918?? Actually in 1918 H1N1 virus had been killed almost 30.000 human in Bali, especially in Deanpasar and Gianyar.

So the government’s assumption that H1N1 virus that causing Pig Influenza cannot be attack Indonesia is rather wrong and we don’t trust it completely. So be careful…because this virus can be spread between human.

H1N1 Virus causing Pig Influenza

Warning!!! Pig Influenze Virus (H1N1) has been attacking Mexico, US, and New Zeland. 81 humans are dead and 1300 humans are infected by this virus in Mexico. In California, Texas, and Kansas 11 humans have been a victims. And a group of students and teachers in Auckland are also infected by this virus after took a journey in Mexico.





Important to know that H1N1 is different with H5N1, because H1N1 can be spread between the humans. So it can be easily infected other people.

As the measure to prevent H1N1 spread in Indonesia, the governments have done a meeting to discuss H1N1 virus at Monday, April 27th, 2009. They discussed to get a best way to prevent and cope this virus.

Hepatitis Issue

Did you know that hepatitis has been the worldwide issue? Almost 400 millions humans in the world have chronic hepatitis B disease, and a million are died every year because if this disease.

Actually hepatitis is a liver infection. There are many factors that causing this infection, such as because of virus, metabolism derangement, having alcohol consume, effect of consume the medicine, and so on.
This disease will damage cell, even all part of liver and it will kill the patient. The hepatitis symptoms are skin, nail, and eyeball in whitepart. Although there is a technology for transplantation, but this transplantation is so expensive, apart that the succes of this transplantation is a little.

GLOBAL WARMING

Over the past 150 years humans have been burning more and more fuel for their life, especially fossil fuels. Humans need fuels to power the vehicles and to generate electricity. Because of these activities, more carbon dioxide is being put into the atmosphere. So the earth’s atmosphere is absorbing more infra-red energy from the surface of the earth and the earth is getting warm. Many scientists think that this condition will increase, because humans always use energy without thingking about the consequence. The temperature will be warmer and warmer.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projecting, on 2100 average temperature on the surface of the earth is increasing (1,8oC – 4oC) and on 2009 this condition is warmer (more than 4oC), it will increase directly if humans will not take measures the greenhouse effect. Actually, the greenhouse gases are important for us. To make the earth still warm, but these gases are too much so it has a big role to change the earth’s climate.

Do you know the impact of global warming?? Because of greenhouse gases the earth is getting warmer. This condirion make the ice at the north and south poles melting. This is putting more water into the seas and oceans, which can cause flooding in the coastal areas. Now we can see the global warming’s impact. In Jakarta for excample, often getting flood from the sea.

There are many activities that can we do to reduce the greenhouse effect and global warming.
1. Save electricity
Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. If we turn off these are, we can save a lot of energy. Now, there is a programme that suggests us to turn off the electricity, just 60 minutes every day. This programme is useful to save energy.
2. Plant trees
Planting trees is a great way to reduce the greenhouse gases. Because it absorb carbon dioxide and the greenhouse gases from the air. So…plant trees on your garden, and don’t cut down it. Okay…
3. Walk and riding bike
These are useful for us, we cannot only save energy but also keep healthy. So cut your habit to use motorcycle and car. I trust that you can do it…

All of them are small examples to reduce the greenhouse gases. You can add your own example that will inspire us to save our earth. So…are you ready to do it???
