Combatting H1N1

So this has happened now when i am in Singapore. The medical preparedness to combat H1N1 was reasonable due to Singapore's previous lessons learnt during SARS outbreak. Though it was reactive to prevent this current influenza's influence, i could find few things bit inconsistent in this side of world. People from Mexico were seen as terminators and were humiliated in the name of quarantine. People who returned from that place were given special isolation resort packages for a week outside the city, again in the name of quarantine.

I dont know the adequacy of the temperature tests and these isolation packages. I could atleast understand and could tolerate these tests at the airport but i dont understand why these are being done in public places, theatres etc.,

Simple question : If a person feels sick with high temperature, will he/she first move around these public places and roam around for fun or will they have the required energy to do so ?

Wont they have the responsibility to cure themselves and wont they have the desire to live ?

Being reactive is a good thing but meaningless efforts just add up the inconvenience of the public.

i am here in singapore

Having become as a western recession victim, i relocated to the emerging world's corner, Singapore.

Singapore is a fine city. Thats what the berserk people living here can say in one sentence about the city. City or country or whatever it is, Singapore, according to me is a well developed second world experience to me.

I have had a chance to use the secondworld software, in which an avatar is created and the animated creature is indirectly controlled in each and every aspect of life.

Buildings,landscape and everything here is controlled by government and well structured, clean environment(excluding few places).

Though i dont fully criticize the semi-democratic government's public policies, i feel that my independence is being partially plucked due to these restrictions. I have been always living in matured democratic countries where human rights, comfort and lifestyle are the important factors.

Highlights of atrocious policies :

1. Never drink/eat in trains/buses.

2. Stickers/Videos/Audio warnings which even says to tell you how to handwash, how to use toilet and worst part is teasing stickers over the urinals with sentences like ' It is smaller than you thought' , 'It is farer yet than you thought' , 'Shoot at the spot exactly' else ' Shooting lessons available' .

3. Surprised to know that no chewing gums are sold all over the island.

there are few more but let me discover and experience things before i share it.

People here never utter a word to strangers and not friendly at all. I have been here for past 3 months and never talked with any people while i travel in a bus or a train or just when i walk or shop as none smiles or even care to give a friendly look. This is onething i miss from my previous land of stay where people greet others with a smile and at times with a 'you are alright ya ? ' dialogue. I dont know if this strait is due to the communist dominance of chinese people or if there is any spell of racism.

Well, i have still sometime to be around here and will see if i get some good local friends :-)
