The occupying line by Natalia Holvova

The disease of bird flu has been known for almost ten years so far and there are still no ways of treatment and no ways of preventing new cases or modifications of the viruses. Researchers are specially concerned about possibility of appearance of new different virus type that would be easily wide-spread and communicate between humans. There were new types of virus found in east India, but local health officials claimed there is no record of virus attack to people. Still, the bird flu history is full of slaughtering of hundreds of million birds in more than 60 countries crossing the world. Researchers keep doing experiments in laboratories and look for weakness or little hole that could become a way to discover right treatment or to completely kill the virus. Till the solution is found we should be careful and keep all possible preventive precautions. Specially traveling to India, and other Asian countries where is the highest expectation of virus presence needs particular behavior. We should pass all required vaccinations and take all recommended pills before we go there. In case of unusual allergy or other chronic illness we should take enough medicine for whole time of our staying in contracted country and we need to keep hygienic habits as much as we can. World is different today, people travel around and cultural exchange is the process we can see everyday. There is no possibility to keep any of epidemics or pandemics in certain areas anymore. That's why we need to put much more effort to preventive precautions than ever before. It is on everyones responsibility to keep in mind what to do to stay healthy.
