It was reported that the DOH confirmed 2 cases of A(H1N1) infection here in Eastern Visayas, a 14-year-old high school student of the Philippine Science High School in Barangay Pawing Palo, Leyte; and a 44-year-old seaman from Catbalogan, Samar who had just arrived from Singapore.

The news about it scared some people here in our area especially that there are already confirmed A(H1N1) cases in Cebu and Bohol and now in Palo, Leyte.

I know that the strain of virus here in the Philippines is just mild and no death resulted by the AH1N1 infection that has been reported yet. But I still need to be careful.

To let you know, my immune system against cold and similar illnesses is weak.

Last month, just after my son born, my wife suffered tonsillitis which was caused by the ice cream we ate. Then after several hours, her sinus, and other parts of her respiratory system got infected too. So, she suffered from soar throat, sinusitis, and cough. But I knew that it was not A(H1N1) infection because she didn’t experienced muscle pain.

After 2 days, I also experienced the illness that my wife suffered. We’re just lucky that our son was not infected.
