Been quite a while since I last posted, has been busy lately. So much buzz about the recent swine flu but one the good side of it, it is not as deadly as the SARS flu back in 2003. That epidemic alone took 33 lives in Singapore.
But one incident really shocked me and that is the reaction from the Mexico Foreign Minister. She has accused of unfair treatments by countries on Mexicans after the outbreak of the Swine flu. This include quarantine on Mexicans that show no sign of the swine flu.
I think it is only fair to put in such measure to prevent the spread of the swine flu. Cos you can carry the virus and spread it without showing any sign symptoms. Asia has faced SARS before and will be at a better position to know what measure need to be in place to prevent a repeat pandemic.
