Ok I'm freaking out. The situation of the Swine Flu outbreak seems to be getting worse. Its currently at yellow alert now. We have been having alot of briefings with the Nursing Director to prepare ourselves for a swine flu outbreak in Singapore. Freaky shit man. Initially, I thought Singapore was overreacting to the situation but then again, I don't blame MOH. There's already 14 suspected cases here and after the SARS outbreak, I think we learnt a lesson. Apparently, this swine flu is worse than SARS...crap. This is really a bad time to start work. All of us had to wear N95 masks to protect ourselves coz there was a suspected case in SGH. All the staff at SGH started freaking out and everyone was frantically trying to get hold of a mask. We had to wear the bloody mask during our whole shift. It was so bloody uncomfortable! I felt so breathless. I really hope the situation stays at yellow alert. If the situation worsens, not only do we have to wear masks, we have to wear googles and gowns...so troublesome. I really hope the situation is kept under control and doesn't become a global pandemic coz then, my ward would be temporarily converted into a isolation ward. So that means, I have to nurse patients infected with swine flu. I'm really too young to die. Well, I think a swine flu outbreak in S'pore is imminent.
