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.
