1.0410疾管疫情+禽鳥禁餵食H7N9 brings Taiwan on high alert
First up; in order to prevent the possible spreading of the H7N9 virus into Taiwan, local residents are asked to avoid direct contact with bird species. Beginning Wednesday, April 10th, the Taipei City Government has taken measures to reinforce the Waste Disposal Act, which states that the feeding of animals can be penalized by law. Though there are currently no confirmed reports of H7N9 breakout in Taiwan, as of April 10th, 46 suspected cases were reported, of which 41 were dismissed, and 5 are still under investigations. The Central Epidemic Command Center also sent two Taiwanese e-pi-de-mio-logists to Shanghai, who upon their return have confirmed that the live poultry markets has been closed. However whether this method is effective in containing the bird flu or not, will depend on the number of reported cases after April 15th. So far, there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission, however members of the public are to remain alert and pay attention to personal hygiene.
首先，來看為了防堵H7N9流感疫情延燒到台灣，當局呼籲民眾，要減少和禽鳥接觸的機會，台北市從4月10號開始，依據廢棄物清理法，不可飼養禽畜的規定，目前台灣尚未傳出H7N9確定病例，但是截至4月10號下午為止，全台共有46例通報病例，其中41例已經排除，5例還在檢驗中，而這個月，中央流行疫情指揮中心派遣兩位防疫專家，到上海勘查H7N9疫情，專家返國表示，上海目前已經關閉活禽市場，是能有效防堵疫情，就要看十五號之後病例是否減少，而目前H7N9還沒有人傳人病例，但還是要提醒民眾注重個人衛生。

4.最後一哩路(3)Ultimate goal of palliative care
Comprehensive palliative care is not only about giving patients suffering from terminal illness, peace of mind and better quality of life in their final days, but it also shares the heavy burden of many family members, by giving them support as they accompany their loved ones. The cycle of life is something we hear about every day, but in fact, when it comes to your loved one, it is never easy to let go and bid farewell.
強調全方位照顧的安寧療護，不只讓重症末期的病人可以平靜的休養，維持最後的生活品質和尊嚴，來走完最後一程，還能減輕家屬的負擔，幫助他們陪伴家人走過死亡的幽谷，雖然生老病死是人生必經的過程，但面對自己的親人離別總是不容易。
