First H1N1-related death in Singapore

First H1N1-related death in Singapore

[An excerpt from thesundaytimes, prepared by Marcus Lau 19/07/09]

Yesterday, a 49-year-old man who had multiple heart problems, became the first person to die of H1N1 in Singapore at 2.30pm yesterday. He died of a heart attack contributed by severe pneumonia and the H1N1 infection. Before this he was already suffering from diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. He was admitted to Changi General Hospital last Thursday after suffering four days of flu-like symptoms.

My thoughts: This shows that we must start practicing good hygiene to avoid H1N1.
