i understand that alot of people might not get why everyone is making a big fuss out of this, but they have their reasons and one of it is that there is a risk of this flu mutating into a more dangerous strain, and it’ll be really bad if it happens, look at SARS for example. the thing about flu viruses is that their mutations are quick, fast and unpredictable. the fact that this strain of virus has no vaccine yet and at the moment seems highly contagious is the cause of worry. if this strain happens to meet a deadlier strain such as avian influenze, who knows what will happen.

so bear with it for awhile ya, no one knows whats to happen, but just in case, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

GERAM SEKALI MAN. they took a throat swab and then i could go home.. but hours later the hosp called me back asking me to back ALL the way to the hosp which is in putrajaya because they used the wrong technique to get the throat swab. how professional man. i'm still waiting for them to call back telling me if i have the flu or not. i'm actually okay now... i mean just cos i have fever doesn't necessarily mean i have the flu. -___- sorry, just wanted to rant. i may be worried about getting swine flu (because i am paranoid like that), but i am SO SO SO PISSED that the m’sian media is making such a big deal about it!!! i had a fever (AND NOTHING ELSE) on the plane, and because of that, i was taken by the health authorities for nearly FIVE hours so that they could take me to the hosp for health screening… dah la they were taking their own sweet time to get me from the airport to the frikkin hosp! then when they were taking my temp, blood pressure, etc, one of the staff asked if i knew that melb has the most cases and then asked WHY i came back to kl in a very bitchy tone.
