the effect of swine flu on our daily lives

swine flu, or infleunza A(H1N1) (but i would very much like to refer it as swine flu), is drastically taking its toll on the community. no, its not the viral disease itself, but the perks that come with it.

as you all know, swine flu is the new kid on the block. the new black. the latest pandemic to hit the streets. sadly, or should i say... regrettably fortunate, it is just a mild case of the flu. hell, even dengue is more dangerous than swine flu.

take my word for it guys for i had first-hand experience of the virus. although my case was a little severe, it was because it triggered my sinusitis. which means that i had a hell of a headache. so, officially, i was diagnosed with acute sinusitis.

notice anything WRONG? if your smart enough, you can notice that they did not mention a thing about swine flu in my diagnosis even though i had exhibited its symptoms.

why??

to create less panic and chaos. if the medical world will NOT confirm the existence of the virus in me, then countless people can sleep better knowing that the dreaded virus hasnt infected a wonderful guy like moi.

notice that i used the word DREADED, and not DREADFUL, to describe the swine flu. well ladies and gentlemen, i am going to another part which will lead to another and will eventually lead us back to the main topic. :D

people dread the virus because of two things.

1. basically, they dont want to get sick
2. they have been brain-washed by the authorities thinking that its a deadly disease.

yes, need i explain? well... yes, i have to...

firstly, people dont want to get sick. its such a hassle. people hate being behind on the studies, miss work, etc.

2nd, almost all of us had orientations about swine flu, right? they say that its just a mild case of flu yet they had a lot more going on.

finally, onto my topic. now, because of that, classes have been suspended and so has our laag pursuits. why oh why?? do you realize how boring that is to us?? it was okay, no... AWESOME that you guys suspended class. but including our laag pursuits? that is miscarriage of justice! its like commiting murder! how could you do that? smiling their in front.. talking about social responsibility.

hell, i dont care if i infected a lot of people. our prefect also said that part of the social responsibility, is that we, the students of Xavier, are responsible in keeping the disease under control.

why us? isnt that DOH's responsibility? arent we the victims here? why the hell are we trying to act like heroes?
