Google's Aileen Apolo gave the idea for this blog.
You know that Influenza A H1N1 virus is said to cause a very deadly disease. In the Philippines, there have been an increasing number of confirmed cases. People are getting worried about being infected, specially since some noted schools have canceled classes because some of their students have caught the dread disease.
Did I miss anything here? From what I understand of the news, all the early confirmed cases are still alive and in fact have gotten over it. DOH even goes as far as saying that this flu variant is less of their headache than dengue.
Even with respect to dread diseases, Filipinos are truly resilient.
I hope this post holds true forever.

The Effects of a Flu Virus
Classes suspended. Already? We haven't even started.
The story is that because some students are refusing to impose self-quarantine, the school authorities have decided to postpone the start of classes to protect the majority of the population.
In a way, that is an advantageous decision. It gives the faculty one more week to prepare course materials. We can plan our days just a little bit better.
Well, we do need to plan well. The announcement means four days less of lessons without any adjustment to the end of term. Guess we will have to cram a few lessons together. In my case, I have already decided to remove one of my planned activities.
Still, I think it was a good idea. I can understand why one of those students would insist on coming to school despite the threat of the disease but I also believe this will be for his own good.
Sometimes, we really have to look at the effect of our actions on the bigger group of people around us.
