The Inevitable

The pandemic is really gripping the nation. Reading the news back home, it seems that all the pandemonium was about the flu.

But looking at the bigger scale, our part of the world is much quieter compare to the Americas. On the H1N1 endemic map (albeit two weeks old already), the flu was already quite rampant in the Americas. And yet we hardly hear anything mentioned in the main newstream or for that matter in the CNN. We have not heard of any big events being cancelled.

May be it's time to put things into proper perspective. Yes. There is currently a worldwide pandemic. It is inevitable that sooner or later all the countries in the world will be affected as we live in a world where millions of people travel across countries and continents everyday. In the midst of current recession, the last thing we want is another barrier being put to limit our normal activities. There must be better ways and means to handle the situation.
