H1N1 scare

We were just informed that 4 students were suspected of having H1N1 as of this morning - they are to be quarantined for a week in one of the residential colleges. Last week, we had two confirmed cases of H1N1. I guess with the large number of students in an institution like this, the virus (if it is confirmed to be H1N1) would be hard to contain. Coz of the nature of the institutions and the ensuing interactions among us (i.e. lectures involving groups of students/lecturers) .

We were advised to take up vitamins - my friend Ita - the pharmacist at DEMC (hehehehe) - told me to take 500mg of Vitamic C a day, and to up that dosage if i am not feeling well...

Andway, just to share, according to the email sent to us, the symptoms include

1)Demam melebihi 38C
2) Sakit Tekak
3) Selsema
4) Letih dan lesu
5) Sakit-sakit badan
6) Batuk, tidak berkahak pada peringkat awal


I hope everyone is extra careful now - and those who are quarantined - please do so. Don't be selfish and ignore the quarantine order coz that selfish act might endanger other people.
