Eighteen US soldiers in Kuwait have H1N1 influenza, the first cases of the so-called swine flu in the Gulf Arab oil-exporting region, a government official said on Sunday.

"(The troops) were confirmed with the virus upon their arrival from their country to the military base (in Kuwait)," Ibrahim al-Abdulhadi told Reuters.

On Saturday, the state news agency KUNA had quoted a government official as saying the virus had been detected in an unspecified number of US soldiers passing through Kuwait..

Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely is impure or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits; (for him) certainly, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #145)

What a load of hype. It is not even called Swine Flu anymore.

It is a new strain of flu.

The channel gave no further details.

Prevent this disease by taking one spoon of black seeds (nigella sativa)oil daily in early morning. This oil is available in Al-Safeer store near FFC or airport signal. You should check the oil in pharmacy section.

DUBAI: A man who arrived on a flight from Canada has been confirmed as the first case with the new H1N1 flu in the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf state’s health minister said yesterday. Hanif Hassan Ali told the state news agency WAM the man was being treated in hospital. “His symptoms have subsided but the treatment will continue for 10 days according to the medical procedure,” he said.

sure there were high risk patients who were suspected of having it. but after the tests(3)they all went home, relieved!!!Screening doesn't mean you have to physically checked from the ports, unless the thermal scanner pinpoints you. Or once the symptoms appear and develops. Breathe easy folks. But avoid the crowds and WATCH THOSE HANDS please.

By nurse azhal• 24 May 2009 23:55
nurse azhal

was what i meant by avoiding travel. Swine flu is a mutated virus a mix of several viruses, avian included. The thing is, there are no known antidotes for it, and no exact tests available especially for it. What happens is that, they just rule out the other flu strains which we had previously,(avian,b,and a),and thats it. The tamiflu capsules given to treat patients are just used for prophylaxis(cleaning out the system) but it cannot eradicate the virus totally. And is only effective if taken within the initial 3 days right after the symptoms starts.

that could happen to you is to get it now while its a mild strain and then at least you will have the anti bodies just in case it develops into a more serious strain later. (I emphasise just in case)

So nurse azhal do you recommend all expats and nationals cancel their summer holidays? you must know that is neither practical nor will it stop the spread of this flu.

By nurse azhal• 24 May 2009 13:02
nurse azhal

its not being transferred through pigs. its more of a human virus now and is airborne so can be caught by humans very easily. by the way, its better to bring hand sanitizers with you,especially before you hug your wife and kids.

By nurse azhal• 24 May 2009 13:00

the government of qatar is doing everything in its power to screen passengers coming from outside the country. via all ports, just try to avoid travelling during these times and please please wash your hands always. especially after coming fro outside even from the malls. if you know anyone coming from other countries who develops fever 38C, flu-like symptoms and or diarrhea, kindly call the hotlines provided by Q-tel. So, far the country has zero cases. thank you
