H1N1

As all news, the H1N1 scare is now stale news. Interest has died down but on astro star movies 'The Legend" starring Will Smith brought out the scary part of virus attacks. In this movie, virus killed everyone, well almost. With WHO announcing that H1N1 virus is attacking the lungs direct making it more deadly, isn't that scary?

There are things we can do I suppose and that would include keeping a healthy lifestye, washing hands often, avoid touching our nose and faces too much, avoiding public places with many people. One thing I question. Is the wearing of mask helpful? Wearing them can be more harmful as it can be easily contaminated meaning we will be breathing in more germs and virus. I thought masks were meant for those who are sick to avoid spreading the bugs.
