WHO has declared influenza H1N1 a pandemic, the highest level at phase six. Wow! That's serious. I wonder if most Malaysian take it seriously. In fact, I wonder if most people in the world take it seriously. I've asked around my friends who live in Canada, US and Australia, it seems they are going about with their lives. Nothing concerning them about H1N1. Not a worrisome line on their face.
With the summer holiday, a lot of travelling happened with students travelling back to their countries and families going overseas vacation. In just matter of weeks since summer holiday, our H1N1 case (imported) has risen to 11 cases. The health ministry has tied up the measures and precautions. As Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said" drastic measures" in place. When my dad came back from overseas, he was screened, asked his seat number, his next destination, contact details and was given a cert of clearance from the airport screening. This is unavoidable as I'm sure nobody want human to human tranmission. Looks like the pandemic is not going away soon and everyone is scare to fly.
Some of my colleagues have to fly to Singapore and China for training. I wish them safe travel.
