A long article by Dr Milton Lum who is a member of the board of Medical Defence Malaysia. It is a must read. Informative and important. Excerpt :

" THERE have been several developments since the H1N1 pandemic was declared by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on June 11, 2009.

Data on its clinical features and those at risk of complications have been published and are still emerging. It is now known that between 1% and 10% of patients with clinical illness require hospitalisation. Globally, teenagers and young adults account for the majority of cases, with hospitalisation rates highest in very young children."
