When would they let go ?

It’s look like still a panic situation here… the govt still considered H1N1 as a major threat as I read it from the newspaper, but most of the relative had no feeling about it – after all no one around them had hooked up with the disease. Well, 10 days before I returned, the Taiwan department of heath had declared that the H1N1 is no longer a major threat like SARS – our reporting system had shifted from daily to weekly and only the severe case with be posted. When I reached the low cost carrier terminal(LCCT), we saw this long line up at the entrance hall. The line up is just like a cribbage score board. There were a team of medical staffs collecting the declaration and handing out brochure. The line was static for 5-10 minutes. I said to Ving – “total wrong setting ,that is another way of spreading the disease”. The line was static and if there is one H1N1 patient – than we could be infected. So isolation would be more difficult as the front 3 and back 3 rows rule could not be applied in this situation. The Ministry of health is still spreading news of panic around the newspaper – well, don’t know when they would let go …..
