I know we are the city of SARS in the part of the world with bird flu, but this might be the scariest thing I have seen for a while.
The banner reads, "The Yellow Alert for Infectious Diseases in Activated."
Except I have never heard of the yellow alert for infectious diseases, nor red, orange, green for that matter. As far as I know, we’re quite disease free lately. A few cases of food poisoning, many of us ate too much because it’s the CNY, but dude, really I have no idea what this is, and why it’s on the side of the community center. It can’t be that serious as Apple Daily hasn’t splashed it onto the front pages to scare the smiterines out of everyone but still…

Weirdly a few days after I came to find out what it is. Something to do with the avian flu from Vietnam. My friend is sick with Malaria she got from West Africa, and so I went to visit her in the infectious disease ward, and in the lift there was this notice.

The government is so afraid of all the blame it got during and after the SARS period. Now it activates alerts most of the time, so in case there is another outbreak, the government will say “See? I warned you!”

Our government is so stupid!!!!!! You should see the OPEN biohazzard box in the place. Made me feel worried. Maybe I post the photo up too.

Not to cause panic, but the next pandemic is the Avian flu. Malik Peiris, who pinpointed the coranovirus as the SARS contagion, has said that it is extremely likely that the avian flu bug is mutating the way SARS did in the market stalls of Guangzhou. If that is the case, and the disease becomes human-to-human transmittable, many hundreds of thousands of people are at risk. Perhaps millions.
