Swine Flu Bull$#!t

Like SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!!

This swine flu is practically the same as the normal flu. Just accept it and move on with life. If you get the flu, then all you have to do is take a course of antibiotics, rest, and recover! So what if other people get infected. We don't quarantine people with the regular flu. And that causes more deaths than the swine flu does! Meh.

I think the Malaysian Health Ministry is massively overreacting - closing down schools, quarantining people who've been in contact with infected people, asking students studying in Australia not to return home. But wait, there's more - you could be fined up to RM10,000 or jailed for up to 2 years for withholding health information about yourself... :s

Seriously, I think the resources wasted on all that can and should be used for more important things.

Found these cute little works of art/vandalism in Melbourne. I totally agree with the message that the people who did this were trying to put forth. Basically, there are these cute life-sized sculptures of 3 skinny men in business suits, holding their briefcases and random Melbournians have taken the opportunity to use them as part of their mini awareness-raising campaigns (I once saw them with cigarettes in their o-shaped mouths - so cute!). Here, they are wearing masks. Lol!
