Cure for?
Just took a panadol..feeling feverish..i know i should get myself to a doctor pronto what with the SARS thing going around but..i'll wait..Wait for? Wait to see if my condition improves and wait for the clinic to open! Doesn't mean that i have to get paranoid, go downstairs and knock down my doctor's front door just because my temperature was a little high..Singapore's weather isn't exactly cooling!
Anyway, the SARS thing seems to be spreading rather fast and no one seems to know how it gets around..first, some specialist said that the disease is not airborne, now they say that it may be air-borne! So who do we believe when the people who are supposed to be the experts contradict themselves? And the symptoms..fever above 38 degrees celsius and/or cough, breathlessness.. Aren't these the symptoms of a normal flu? I mean, if my temperature was below 38, i wouldn't even be seeing a doctor in the first place! So are they implying that whoever runs a fever has SARS? I really have no clue..and i don't think i'm alone in that aspect..What about all that mask wearing thing? False sense of security? Maybe..and who's to say those fanatic air-purifier buyers are wrong when the experts themselves aren't sure!
Times are uncertain these days..Medical experts and politicians all flapping their loose gums all day long on TV! Bush doesn't have his son out in Iraq (hey i can mouth out all that crap about being heroes dying for a good cause too!) and those World Health Oorganisation big shots probably can afford more health care than we do! All those empty promises and "we're trying..blah blah blah" and "it MAY..blah blah blah"! What we want is simple..we want a cure, we want answers we can understand..Saddam is evil? Go find him! Why invade a country and then give all sorts of speeches and excuses no one will believe but no one can do a thing about! SARS is fast spreading? Tell us how do we differentiate SARS from the normal flu! SARS can be fatal and the flu isn't? Come on! Why tell us we should stay away from crowded places when no one knows exactly how it gets around? Why close schools when adults seem more prone to the bug?
So many questions and so many answers..but every answer just bring forth further questions..so tell me now, where is the cure? Probably a shrug away..
