When I first heard about Swine flu (also known as influenza AH1N1) several months ago, I wasn't too concerned about it. I thought it'll die down and go away eventually. I never thought it's even going to affect Malaysia until recently. So far, 12 deaths have been reported and new cases crop up every single day. To date 1,476 people have been infected

.
I've started to get panicky. The latest victim was a teacher, before that a mother who had just given birth, another victim was a 10 year old boy. It seems surreal at first but not anymore

. I've even contemplated not sending my boys to school and keep them quarantined at home until the situation gets under control. A slight cough from them triggers the panic button and I'd scurry to check if my boys are alright.
Heck, I'd get all jittery even when I hear my neighbors cough

. Yeah, I know I'm being paranoid but we can't take things lightly anymore. I wish I could whisk my family to safety... but where is that safe place?? I guess we'll just have to be extra cautious, practise good personal hygiene and never take flu symptoms for granted and leave everything to God. We have to have faith, there's a reason why this disease is happening but for the life of me, I just don't understand why people just die from flu. It's even deadlier than cancer!
Let's pray this disease can be contained soon

. But while we're all praying for this disease to go away, let me tell you something about

I know, I know, most of you don't live in Virginia but who knows, maybe one day you'll decide to settle down there and knowing where to get some contemporary and high quality plantation shutters for your home.
