Estonia position paper (Murielle and Peggy)
Estonia Position Paper
Committee: Commission on World Health
Topic: The prevention of the spread of H1N1
Country: Republic of Estonia
Delegates: Murielle Hsieh, Peggy Huang
H1N1 was a disease that spread through pigs in the United States, but on during March, 2009, it made an outbreak that Spread throughout the world. The pandemic influenza, or swine flu, as we know, started in Mexico and places in United States. We never thought a country, far from the states like us would get infected but this happened, but the serious disease harmed at least 2,475 people in total 62 countries. People tried to prevent this disease since the 1918 and 1919, and it was already common throughout the pig’s population. But it was found in human body recently.
People determine that young infants or elders might be at risk of getting infected, but WHO recommends people to take precautions for preventing issues to happen. The best way to keep away from illness is wearing masks to reduce the chance of getting it. Noticing your temperature is also very important, if you catch a cold or fever, stay home and avoid going to public. Many ways like keeping your hands clean and don’t spend too much time in crowded spaces, can also help to prevent illness.
Estonia has vaccination but it is not enough for all 1 million people. Up till now, there are total 401 cases in Estonia and 2 deaths. It’s not much like countries in America, but we will do what we can to cooperate with UN and prevent more people from dying or getting this pandemic.
