A more pressing matter at hand

The death toll due to H1N1 has risen to 8. Shouldn't we be concerned? The teacher who died after being admitted to the Seremban Hospital ICU last night did get treatment at Sungai Buloh Hospital on the 30th of July....that's only three days later! Wasn't she tested for H1N1 when at Sungai Buloh Hospital?

A collegue has been having the flu since last week. She willingly went to Serdang Hospital to be tested for H1N1. Unfortunately, she was informed that the tests could not be carried out because she's just taken her medication. She's required to return 4 hours later! Why is such important information not given to the general public? The collegue end up not getting any test done.

My eldest daughter had a flu last week. She seems to be recovering, but I'm still worried. My youngest who's in UIAM Kuantan called saying she's having the flu also. I'm even more worried because she said that all nursing students have been asked to go home. Adek is doing medical biology, which is in the faculty of science. She's not seen the doctor yet since she got lectures the whole morning and lab the whole afternoon. She plans to do so tomorrow since there's no lab session tomorrow afternoon. I'll give her a call tomorrow. In the mean time this mother will keep herself busy so she does not worry too much...banyakkan berzikir dan berdoa (that's me telling myself).
