H1N1 - a real scare

I was in the gym yesterday when I noticed there weren't many people around. Usually the gym is packed with people. The attendance for yoga class has shrunk to almost half. Probably a lot of them were terrified due to the increasing number of people infected by Influenza A (H1N1).

Even in shopping malls there are less people and quite a number were wearing masks to protect themselves from being infected. Those with high risk factors such as chronic diseases, asthma, diabetes, obesity and pregnancy will have to take more precautions. Same goes for senior citizens and children. It is sad and alarming looking at the current situation and I hope more measures will be taken to curb this deadly influenza from spreading even more.
