Since the first confirmed case of influenza A (H1N1) reported on 27 May,
there have been 629 cases by 29 June. Half of them have caught the flu locally.
Some of my overseas friends have concerned about us.
Thanks my friends for their kindness. When we attended the Sunday service at Bedok Lutheran Church two days ago, we updated and recorded our attendance on the name list prepared by the Church. We have to do so till the end of July. It was for H1N1 monitoring.
When I went to the ElderCare Centre yesterday to provide the massage
treatment to the elders, the staff took my temperature too.
The schools have instructed the teachers and students to stay at home for 7 days if they came back from the flu affected countries. Therefore there were about 10,000 teachers and students absent from class yesterday when the new school term commenced. I went to attend the Teochew Opera class yesterday evening. I took bus and train. There were crowds everywhere, in the bus and train, in the market and shops. I did not see anyone putting on mask.
The experience of fear when SARS came to Singapore in 2003 did not repeat.
May God bless you and keep you. |
