Swine-Flu

a gowned nurse at TTSH shot on assignment

This is really a de-ja-vu moment for me when I first worked for the AP and SARS hit the world. Suddenly everything looked surreal and yet familiar. Friends that we had started to cancel appointments we had made earelier with them only because they were worried that we would be exposed to the virus. We milked every possible angle of coverage we possibly could at that point. People buying masks, nurses masked, hospitals, funerals, holy-communion intinction method, culling of chickens etc.. you name it, we got it. Singapore has come a long way now and we are better prepared. Of course all these diseases are bigger than us right now so it's important to work together. We're still free from the swine-flu but anything could happen.
