H1N1 hits UUM!!!

A historical day!

For both UUM and me.

This is the first time I encountered such a happening in my life.
I think u oredy knew it from the title of this entry.
H1N1 is attacking UUM!
Yesterday, my dear Uni has announced to suspend all classes and student activities for six days from today following the high number of students with mild H1N1 symptoms.

Following the announcement, there was a slight riot going on in the entire Uni.

At first, I was quite enthusiastic about the forthcoming holidays.

6 days of holidays...wat should i do with it?

Apparently, there was no such thing called "what should i do with my 6 days holidays" for my other Uni frens.

They were so bc with packings, and ticket booking once they got informed about the news.

The rumour that everyone would be quarantined once the Uni has closed the front door at 6pm had definitely flustered everyone especially juniors.
Many of them followed the trend of leaving UUM.

They hadn't even booked the tickets and yet they just finished packing and fled from UUM.

The whole situation was like World War 2.

Everyone was so afraid of the Japanese Soldiers and did their best to flee the battle scene.

Likewise, in this case, Japanese soldiers were like H1N1 and battle scene was like UUM.

I was told that the uni made the decision of suspending classes after a large number of students were referred to the PKU with mild symptoms of the virus.
From my point of view, class suspension is a must.
And yet allowing the students to return home wasn't a good way to curb the spread of the flu.
Dun u think it will oni let the virus to spread even more rapidly?
If u have ever seen the doctor in PKU, u might know y the flu can spread out that rapidly and stealthily in UUM.
My previous experience tell me that the doctors in PKU are freaking damned irresponsible.
Their first question usually is "what kinda problems do u hav?",
and next, you can get ur butt out of that chair and wait outside to take your medicine.
And weeks ago, my roommate who had the flu went to c the doctor.
He told me that the doctor simply gav him some fever and flu medicine without having further check-up.
How the heck can the flu not even spread if the doctors act like this?
This time, I hav made the decision to stay bac in UUM.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen to me.
And to my frens out there, take care.
