The Numbers Are Rising...

Since my last entry, it's the 15th now....

Cleo's boss is ok, she is ok... So the coast is clear...

Honestly, to Cleo and I, its not the case of getting it or dieing from it. We know with early and proper detection, there is cure. But it is the trouble of getting other innocent people infected as well if we are not careful.

For me, I cross path with so many people in an enclose environment everyday... Its my job, my life. If my recklessness and care-less attitude towards the spread of H1N1, I may have cause the lives of people whose immune system may be too weak to fight the virus, and as a result dieing from it... I cannot live with that, period.

Who are we to say that things like that won't happen?...

It is exactly this kind of American attitude that has created so much unnecessary trouble and inconvenience for the people around the world. They just don't give a shit about it? Laughing it off lightly .... Gambling with the possibility of contracting it....

When things like these happen to other countries,like SARS in Asia, they will raise their frontline defense and bar people from infected countries from entering.... As though there is a alien invasion... And they'll start shouting and making noise, condemning others of exporting the virus and contaminating their soil....

And they are now happily exporting H1N1 and what are they doing about it at home?...
Just count the number of exported cases from New York....sigh...

Si bei boh-chap... KNS !!!

I am not a pessimist, but I've lived and experienced how SARS had affected the lives of many here.... I've also experienced how ang-mohs treated us Asians when I was in Rome not long after the SARS episode.... The porters and the concierge wore complete surgical attire when handling us and our luggage..... We were treated like bio-hazards then....

Anyways, we now have the first non-exported case, the 15th. Contracted from a direct exported case, I think communal spread is only a matter of time....

Lets wait and see.....
