A very pensive moment indeed...
WHO raised the pandemic level to level 5... confirming the spread of this swine flu...
5 confirmed cases in UK...
90+ confirmed cases in US, 1 confirmed dead...
Just as the start of our thoughts lie on more of the holiday plans, right now I just wanna be at home and spend more time with my mum... Amidst all the pandemic scares, academic work (it seems we are stressing each other out over these days), tripos preparation, etc...
And looking at the way the swine spreads, with esp the pt abt showing no syndrome during the first 24 hrs which could be the most infectious, I really fear the worse is yet to be. Esp when u think that sars is such a problematic case back in Singapore.
I wish the best of health for my mum, my sis and my friends everywhere, aust, US, germany, UK, singapore, china (wherever u may be at)... Remember to stay healthy, eat well, sleep well (incl dun mug too hard cos no pt spoiling ur health for work) and take vitamin C (it works for linus pauling btw, though he din escape death of course)
And I'm really wondering how long I could take it...
thank you for bringing me memories...
