To UK Friends about H1N1

How’re you guys, my friends in UK?
Zhong Guo newspaper said people back from Philippines, Australia, England, and America to KL need to go for self isolation at home for a week. This is a MUST.

The newest news that I heard was the amount of people involving in this case was greatly increasing to 80 persons and the youngest was a six months baby. Few schools are closed for about one week because there are few students getting sick. The disease spread into the school. Zhou Li primary school is one of the school (JY’s primary school). The story started with a whole family went for vacation to Australia and four persons are infected with the illness and the student backed to school as normal and that guy infected other students.

For those feel illness should be self isolation or wearing the mask for other people safety. Be careful in airport, that is a most probably transmission place.

For my friends, please take care.
