H1N1 and its funny side...

So today i went on a mini excursion alone, from mines to midvalley to sogo...

From MidValley to sogo, being lazy to swerve past the malaysian lunch time traffic in KL, i decided to take the KTM, afterall, MV and Sogo have good KTM access.


I had to stand as i didnt get a seat as i entered in midvalley station which is not suprising for the Rawang bound KTMs.... So i noticed, about half the commuters in the train were wearing masks, and the atmosphere was sooo tense that no one was talking, there were no babies on the trains, in short it was just sooo dull... like seriously dull. Then i had a mischevious though, i was soooooooo tempted to just start coughing abruptly for about 20 seconds and suck up the mucus in my nostrills as loud as i could and disgustingly, as i was very sure, half the train would get out in the next stop if not all and poof i get 4 seats to myself...!! I think even some people would actually pull the emergency break and jump off the train man! lol, i mean like seriously, everyone in there was soooo paranoid with this H1N1 thingy. Even if i were to clear my throat, im sure id make heads turn.

People and their masks... Random shot.
I agree you have to take precautions and stuff, but i just find this a little hilarious. The weird ways these humans act under such a disease... Anyways, glad to see people actually wearing masks and i cant wait to get out of the country just because of this H1N1 thingy... its getting real bad now.

Once i was on a Normal Common Flu, i went to see the doc just to get well asap as i would be leaving soon, and oh boy, never have i seen the clinic That packed before!!! it took me 1 hour to see the doc, usually at max 20 mins. Everyone was there, from a mild cold, to a mild cough, to a simple sore throat! Everyone!!!!! (good money for the docs though) Sigh the effects of H1N1 isnt just health damaging, mentally too i guess, infact worse on the mental state then physical.. People get sooo scared that it could be "You Know What"...



However being a medical student loads of people have asked me on H1N1 and stuff ( i've just finished 1/5th of my course guys! a lil tooo early to ask! however knowing that id get questions on them, i initially did a little research) So yes, these virus is not very deadly. Its just deadly to those people with an Underlying disease or has very bad health conditions. It does spread fast, but with early detection, and a drug called Tamiflu, you're cured for sure in a few days. However do not ignore the fact that a high fever could also be dengue and not H1N1.

However, the scariest part is where the government actually call up the people positive for it and get to know who they have met in the past week and get down their contact details.... Thats about it i guess, because of you, those other people also have to run tests and self quarantine for a week missing work or school. Work, yeah sure, i dont mind, but school?? hmmm, i wouldnt want to...

In short, The swine:
 LOL.
Sigh the Swine.... Sighhhhhhhh....

One Life, One Love, Enjoy Every Bit of it.
