Last year's H1 results were released on 11/8/2008, but I think the profit from the order of isolation gowns will only be reflected in H2. Does anyone known about the status of the conversion of ord share to TDR for sale in Taiwan? TDR closed at NTD 9.73 (about 43 S'pore cents) on 31/7/09. |

SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed 82 new cases of H1N1 flu, bringing the total to 783 so far. Most are local cases. Three hundred patients have fully recovered, while the rest are in stable condition. And the Health Ministry says it is making the transition to the mitigation phase, so those with flu-like symptoms may see polyclinic or pandemic preparedness clinic doctors, who will make a preliminary assessment. They need not call 993 for the special ambulance. Only severely ill or high-risk patients will be tested for the H1N1 flu virus, and hospitalised if needed. Those with mild symptoms may be sent home and if necessary, prescribed anti-viral drugs. The ministry says doctors will take into account patients' risk of developing influenza-related complications, prevalence of H1N1 flu in the community and weigh the risks and benefits of treatment. Depending on the severity of patients' illness and other risk factors, they may be referred to the hospital for further management. Hospitals will increasingly focus on managing more complex cases. In this transition stage, MOH says hospitals have used their clinical discretion to selectively test patients for H1N1 flu only when required for clinical management (e.g. severely ill patients) and/or in situations where it will be of significant public health importance. Cases that are assessed to be very mild are not hospitalised but placed on home quarantine orders. The ministry says H1N1 flu testing is not necessary before treatment is started and there is no need for GPs to send all suspected cases to hospital for testing. - CNA/yt |

SINGAPORE: The H1N1 virus continues its spread in Singapore. The Health Ministry confirmed 95 new cases on Thursday, raising the total infected to 315. About half of the new cases have been investigated and they comprise 25 local infections and 22 imported ones. Of the 25 new local infections, 10 were Butter Factory nightspot patrons and staff, four were from the Maju Camp cluster and two caught the virus from close contact with imported cases. Nine were linked to a new Republic Polytechnic cluster, which had three previous cases. The remaining 48 new cases are still being investigated. Meanwhile, a trainee working in MediaCorp who contracted the H1N1 virus has been cleared and discharged from hospital. The Health Ministry said those who develop flu symptoms and have a recent travel history to affected countries should call 993 for an ambulance and should avoid taking public transport. Those who have symptoms but no travel history should put on a mask, visit a general practitioner and avoid crowded areas. - CNA/ir |

SINGAPORE: Popular night club Butter Factory, which was identified as a cluster with nine H1N1 cases, has announced a voluntary seven-day closure. The club will place its close to 80 staff and management on home quarantine during that period. It will be closed from Wednesday and reopen next Wednesday. Spokesperson Adrian Wee told Channel NewsAsia that one floor staff was confirmed to be infected on Tuesday morning. The server was working on Saturday. Colleagues who were in contact with him have been sent for screening. Wee said Butter Factory stands to lose about a quarter of a million dollars in revenue with the week-long closure. "As a precautionary measure, we decided to close anyway and send all our staff on home quarantine,” he said. “We need to ensure the virus does not spread. The business at the moment is secondary as opposed to the safety and the well being of our staff and the patrons that visit us.” |

BUENOS AIRES: The H1N1 flu deaths of two people in Argentina and a mutation of the H1N1 virus detected in Brazil have added to fears that South America is entering a harsh winter beset by the flu pandemic. While big pharmaceutical firms are ramping up efforts to mass-produce a vaccine for H1N1, they are still months away from having enough stocks – too late for the Southern Hemisphere's winter flu season. South America has already recorded five deaths from the disease: two in Chile, one in Colombia last week and, most recently, those of a three-month-old girl and a 28-year-old man with leukaemia in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires. The number of infected cases is outstripping figures put out regularly by the World Health Organisation. According to the latest statistics on Tuesday, Chile's confirmed number of patients with H1N1 flu soared by several hundred from 2,355 to 3,125. Other national health authorities also registered increases with Argentina reporting 733, Peru with 113, Brazil 69, Ecuador 84, Venezuela 44, Uruguay 36, Paraguay 25 and Suriname 13. Those figures are far overshadowed by the data from North America, the apparent source of the pandemic. Mexican authorities said they have had 109 deaths and 6,294 infected cases. The United States on Tuesday added a nine-year-old boy to its death toll, bringing it to 47, alongside 17,855 infected cases. Canada has six deaths and 3,515 infections. Central America and the Caribbean have also been hit, registering nearly 800 infections and three deaths (one each in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala). Although the A(H1N1) virus has been classed as relatively mild since first being detected in April, its unusually strong effect on the young, on those with other underlying health problems and on the poor have made it a redoubtable challenge. Some major drug companies have started producing a vaccine for pre-clinical testing, but one of them, Switzerland's Novartis, told the Financial Times it did not intend to give it away to poor countries. US rival Baxter said on Tuesday it should have its H1N1 vaccine commercially available in July. But there were underlying fears that the virus currently spreading around the world through human-to-human contact might mutate further, possibly into a more deadly form, as happened with the 1918 Spanish flu which killed tens of millions. Those fears heightened a little on Tuesday when Brazil's Adolfo Lutz Bacteriological Institute said its researchers had identified and isolated a new strain of the A(H1N1) virus in a Sao Paulo patient. It was not yet known whether that variant, called A/Sao Paulo/1454/H1N1, was more aggressive than the more common type. The institute said in a statement the mutation comprised of alterations in the Hemagglutinin protein which allows the virus to infect new hosts. |

Pandemic doesn't mean that its the end of the world. This H1N1 flu is relatively mild and most people recover quickly. |

Recently, number of infected cases seems to be approx. doubling every 15 days . Do your own calculations - how many will be infected by end of this year ? millions? . May not have many deaths (hopefully) but the negative impact on economic activities may be drastic - loss of millions of manhours; reduced travel, tourism, etc..... Vaccine not expected until earliest October this year, hopefully. Meantime, take good care of yourself and everyone around you. |
