With the global H1N1 pandemic raging across the world and imported infections giving way to local spreading, it's fast becoming a taboo to tell anybody that you are getting running nose and headache. Before you know it, you might even get stoned if you get too near somebody.
I think we should all guard ourselves against over-paranoia. While we still have to protect ourselves against flu infection through clean hygienes and a general healthy lifestyles, it's not saying that you should start ostracising anybody with running nose, which might just be the common cold!
Knowledge is important and we should be enlightened enough to keep ourselves informed on the latest, or we will just degenerate into the mindless hordes you see on B-grade horror movies killing so called infected just to stay alive. Vaguely remembering this news report on civilians stoning a bus carrying suspected infected to the hospital and we all know what desperation can drive normal humans to in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Do you see yourself like that?
