And finally. It has arrived. The H1N1 virus.
Who's prepared? Who's not?
After spreading for a few months around the world, Singapore has finally announced its first H1N1 flu victim. However, based on Singapore's government precautionary measures, the person is quickly quarantined, to prevent the spread.
The government is prepared. But how prepared are the people? Do we wear masks to cover out mouth when we are not feeling well?
Recent reports on ways to prevent spreading of viruses. In Japan and Hongkong, there's a common practice among its people to wear masks when they are not feeling well. They would wear it out to streets, on the trains, everywhere they go, until they reach their home.Why?
So they won't spread their viruses to other people.
Singapore? Nah. No one really wear masks. Reason... I look weird when I wear a mask on the streets. People may think that I'm very special, 'scared', feel outcast. ok. But what about covering own mouth, nose when coughing and sneezing? It's just a simple practice yea...
But not many people are doing that. That's most disgusting and most unhygienic, especially people cough out Loud in a packed bus or in a squeezy mrt cabin. What to do? I think unless you have a strong immune system, it is highly possible to get it.
Generally, we may think that the person is just coughing, nothing much. But this may not always be that simple cough, or sneeze we thought. They will spread. So...be responsible. Take care of yourselves guys:D
H1N1 won't stay for long, if everyone is responsible enough for their own actions:D
