one cannot have a conversation, watch the t.v., read the newspaper, or even surf the internet without chancing upon that most dreaded term "swine flu", these days. dreaded, not because of its potential to induce fatality, but mostly because the topic's been beaten to death and frankly, has become like an eye sore that won't go away. i think i need vaccines to sanitise myself against monotonous discourses on swine flu, causes and symtoms, death tolls, preventive measures and what not.
so the in-laws would like us to stay cooped within our house until god knows when.
and the client wants to implement a bcp.
and i am sure the government will declare emergency if people put up the same pressure for another 2 months.
in the meantime, we have scores of people passing away because of our negligent driving, or because of potentially far more fatal diseases like malaria, dengue, AIDS, and several others. but no, we must let the swine flu have its day in the sun, mustn't we? and forget about everything else until another dreaded disease decides to have its share of attention...
