Closing thought
Again po, reminding po that maybe other people here po is hindi pa nakaranas ng mga ganitong diseases. Yess, it is possible po na meron ditong hindi pa nakaranas dahil maaring malakas ang kanilang resistance but always pa din po mag ingat dahil yung mga pamilya niyo po, yung ibang member na vulnerable po sa mga ganitong diseases will be in danger po. Take note na some of the diseases po are COMMUNICABLE diseases po, na maaaring makahawa.
Keep safe po!! Always prioritize your self !
