Obviously the
escalating number of H1N1 cases are barely scratching the thick
"membrane" surrounding MOH's conscience. In my tuition centre (The
Learning Lab locating in United Square) there has been a case of
H1N1 infection WITHOUT any of the symptoms which are supposed to be
observed preceding a case. The student had not even been overseas.
And our dear Minister of Health Khaw Boon Wan happily sends the
average student like me back to school, which is a highly-populated
environment; a hotbed for the virus to spread.
The blistering fact that the H1N1 virus can no longer be detected
by a fever and therefore is, ipso facto, undetectable beforehand by
the "two temperature checks a day" guidelines laid forth for
schools.
I'm sure you, assumably a grown adult with a certain amount of life
experience, will snobbishly dismiss this as an elaborate ploy to
escape schooling. However, contrary to that, this is meant as a
genuine expression of concern for the welfare of the student
community with H1N1 lurching and threatening to break out in full
scale.
I sincerely hope you understand and feel sympathy for the plight of
us students, the future of this nation.
As for the reply on my thread which was closed, adults are the
backbone of the economy and they have to work. Students however,
can still learn by online means on their respective school websites
and play no such integral part in the economy at the moment.
