I just recovered from a strange bout of flu. I had fever, and it was below 38.0 all the time, lasting only Friday and Saturday. There was no loss of appetite at all. On Friday it was just fever only, with no other symptoms. Then Saturday was fever+cough, so I went for alex lee remedial (he's crazy, 3 tests in 1 week). Sunday, no fever, but sneezed crazily. Monday, went to school (socially IRRESPONSIBLE :P) sneezed a lot too. Tuesday I went to school with a numb nose and after that nothing happened, just very mild cough. So I probably don't have H1N1.
Lester sits on my left and on Saturday be found out that he had a confirmed case of the H1N1 flu. So no hot guy sitting on my left for 1 week. Under the old circumstances, it would mean quarantine for those around him. But no, there's no such policy anymore since it's so severe the government couldn't be bothered and no quarantine is neccesary. Which is really stupid right. Look: at first, when there was ZERO cases in the country, they raised the health alert to orange, temperature checks, masks, 993 ambulance services, border temperature measurements, quarantine, aloha resort, and a buffet of other "strategies".
Now we see our death toll having some numbers, flu cases stopped tracking because it's "too many to count" and everyone around is sneezing or coughing. What are they doing? No quarantine, no more border checkpoint temperature checks, no more ambulance services, no more safety measures, WHEN ITS THE PEAK OF THE WHOLE FLU PANDEMIC!
That's like saying that they're preparing for "war against terrorism". When it happens and we're all under siege with bombs thrown at us, we're going to stop bag checks and all that airport patrolling since it's the peak of the war and we can't be bothered anymore but to lose, because the situation has gotten "too serious". Yup, comparing the H1N1 and terrorism cases alongside each other, this is what I infer. Super measures at first, but when it happens, all hell breaks loose and we'll just give up all that we've worked for in the past.
