May 'YOU' be put under control

Let the swine flu be under control so tt less pple will die w/o salvation and less families/friends suffer frm the loss.

And... I dun wanna be mask up! Hmm, wat a self-centred pt of view. But i seriously can't breathe under the mask. Somemore, if there's confirm cases in S'pore, I'll hv to suffocate under tt full PPE (personal protective equipment). Perhaps I'll die of asthma attack rather than swine flu. Ha! Anyway, it's only performing hand hygiene after seeing every patient at the moment. I simply need more supplies of hand mosturizers for now. Anyone? haha. Hmm... my colleague was asked to station at the triage next week, under tt mask. Oh no, I think I'll be the next if the situation dun improve! Gosh..... T.T. Juz got a bad news. I was sabotaged by my boss to make announcement to the whole eye centre!!! Can't they just record the previous announcements? Dun hv to change pple to announce rite? Hw many more pple can they rotate if this is going to last for months??? Gosh. I dun wannnnn.......

The human swine flu development is ticking like a bomb. No one knows what will happen next. No one can predict the seriousness of the situation for the next second. It was still Green to pre-yellow alert this morning during briefing. At 10am, it was yellow. -.- Triage was set up at all exits, and patients jammed up there to be screened since yesterday. But i guess we can't help it cos there were a sudden 2 suspect cases. It best to be vigilant after the SARS epidemic. And this time round, it will be very much worse off.

"What’s worrying is that the new swine flu strain could spread faster and is harder to detect compared to the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus, which caused an epidemic in 2003."

For SARS, however, the person becomes infectious much later, a few days after the onset of fever.

If it (swine flu) gathers momentum and proves to be very effective in human—to—human transmission and it follows some of the very common characteristics of the influenza virus, then yes, the spread from human to human is much more efficient in influenza as compared to SARS." -CNA

Mmm... since I or rather We can't do very much to stop or prevent the epidemic, shall we put our hands together and pray? Shall we quit procratinating and spread the gospel to our family/relatives/friends? I guess facing swine flu isn't as scary as facing death without salvation.
