甲型流感 H1N1 预防小贴士(中英文对比)Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation till the virus limits itself in about 1-2 weeks (its natural cycle). H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper respiratory tract and proliferates (only) there. The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. 流感疫苗不是用来杀死 H1N1 病毒,它只能抑制病毒在其 1-2 周的自然生存周期中繁衍,H1N1 跟其他A型流感的病毒一样,感染部位只限于上呼吸道,并在那繁殖,它的唯一入侵途径是口鼻喉,这种全球性的流感,几乎无人能置身事外 Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is. 但接触到 H1N1 病毒,并不像 H1N1 传染的问题那么严重. While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps - not fully highlighted in most official communications- can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu): 当你身体健康,尚未出现 H1N1 感染症状时,更有用有效的办法(而不是只关注储备 N95 或流感疫苗),是用以下几种简单的方式来避开少量的 H1N1 病毒在你体内(假如有接触到的话)繁殖、出现病症、及恶化成二期感染: 1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications). 常洗手(在所有的官方警示中,都有重点强调) 2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat or bathe). 手绝不碰脸...除非是是吃东西和洗脸 3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show chara...
