On 18 June 2009, Singapore reported 77 H1N1 flu cases. As of 23 June 2009, barely a week later, the number of such cases is 194. It is likely to cross the 200 mark very, very soon.
What does this mean? Our precautionary measures are insufficient to stop the spreading of this new virus? This virus simply spreads like wild-fire? Or medical professionals simply hands-tight and can't do much to slow the spreading?
The June break will be over. All students will return to their schools on 29 June 2009. Going overseas is a common trend for the locals. Many have gone overseas to the neighbouring countries which many have become H1N1 affected countries.
The danger of this H1N1 virus is one can become infectious even without any symptoms. So anybody next to you, not coughing or sneezing, looking well, may already be infected with H1N1 virus and may be spreading this virus around.
What can we do now?
