Almost 800 swine flu cases in Malaysia and haze above Kuala Lumpur: breathing air in Malaysia becomes dangerous.
Although the Malaysian government says that they have everything under control, simple mathematics shows that there is a big problem looming: Malaysia keeps on having new H1N1 – swine flu – cases each and every day:
- imported by tourists, mainly from Australia
- domestic infections
The bad news however is that the swine flu is more aggressive than first said: since the many deadly cases of swine flu recorded in nearby Thailand and the Philippines, the US has stated that swine flu attacks the respiratory system more severely than the regular flu, causing pneumonia more easily than was first reported.
Add to that the haze that’s looming over Kuala Lumpur: you can smell that "somebody is burning some bushes"… Bad news for many Malaysian tourists that were expecting clear blue seas and fresh air…
