The recent outbreak of H1N1 is causing a lot of problems in Singapore. Me, especially. When the last pandemic of such scale happened, it was during the SARS period while I was in NUS. I wasn't acutely aware of the implications, just that I must not go around crowded places and so on. Basically, I couldn't care less.
But for this current pandemic, my job was affected. As Singapore nears the peak of cases reported with H1N1 (coupled with 5 deaths so far), there are many many students reporting fever and even 1 confirmed case of H1N1. Quite a few cancelled because of flu-like symptons coupled with fever. What can I say? Of course they had to rest and cancel the tuition.
It's been pretty disruptive to my job and schedule. Hopefully all these will clear up soon and things will get back to normal.
Going to meet my H1N1 student this afternoon. Wish me luck!
