(slight glitch on my pc is slowing me down - thnx to ol' fren hafiz for d help)
ok, to start with, swine flu is nothing new locally. d other day when i sat for an exam, H1N1 was my topic of choice for essay writing since its new and hot and there are abundance of info on it on tv, in d papers and even online (sampai memboleh kan i tulis essay BM sebanyak 3 muka surat ~ hebat jugak berhujah!).
its frustrating to see how d situation (shud i call it d 'pandemic'?) is handled, quite a lot of people out der is acting as if nothing is in d 'air'. fyi, ever since the spread, altho Malaysia was among d last country dat d flu had penetrated but we are now topping d chart for the worst cases recorded in d world - top 10 to be precise. unless you live in an area with no tv or radio signals, or no newspapers is being to sent to your area everyday, in this case you also probably doesn't have frens but trees and monkeys, you have d right to be ignorant.
do your bit to better, if not correct the situation, PLEASE. my suggestion includes:
wear a mask in public areas or in enclosed air-conditioned room
keep a bottle of hand satinizer handy at all times -
you never know wat u've touched or going to touch
keep supply of tissue paper wherever you go - sneeze and cough into it then throw away immediately!
since its not safe to be visiting hospitals/clinics at times like this, ensure u haf supply of medicine for cough, flu, fever and such.
other than dat, drink plenty of water and juices packed with vit C to increase your immunity. kt my office ni, ada pantry so i practice washing my hands with anti-bacterial soap everytime i enter d office x kisah la blk fr toilet or mana2 sekali pun. among things to avoid is touching your mouth, nose and eyes because d germs can be transmitted dat way. if x perlu keluar rumah, you better dont. unnecessary shopping and cinemas all should wait until d situation improves.
if you dont love yourself, think of your loved ones. even if u fail to think of your loved ones, think of what other people who are ignorant like u (who might be infected) could do to you and those around you. im not expecting for Malaysian to panic but just beware as our situation is worsening. if u/ur family is unwell, dont leave d house because if everybody could do their fair share of controlling this germ-spreading, we could have d situation under control.
* dalam office ni ada je yg x sihat tp xnk pakai mask~ so selfish of em smpaikan org lain yang kena pakai but ada pulak yg berjangkit batuk from dat particular person. as for Shikin, i hope you'll get well soon but until then, you can have all d MC dat you need ok.
