HALLO HALLO
I can't believe I'm so immobile. I can't go ANYWHERE and I'm
dying of boredom.....well, WAS dying of boredom. The past two
days were really phew-tiring. Can' t tell you yet what I was
doing....you will know in due time!
Today, I read that my smile brings happiness. That is such a nice
thing to know. Your messages brings me happiness too (BUT my
computer is still under some viral attack, probably SARs) can't
read your chinese messages...how bout typing in english ?
Please ?
Some advice on SARs...esp in Taiwan and China and maybe HK (I
think Spore is under control so far)
Check your temperature everyday (so get yourself a personal
thermometer. a digital-under-the-tongue type is supposedly most
accurate)
Be attentive to yourself. Pay attention to your breathing, it
should feel 'open' (panic attacks or stress related shortness of
breath does not count!)
Eat multi-vitamins to strengthen your immune system. Have a
balanced diet, eat your greens and meat for protein as well.
Sleep in a regular pattern, too little hours of sleep can affect your
immune system.
When travelling in an enclosed vehicle, wear a mask OR wind
down the windows. Avoid cool environments because this corona
virus thrives in cooler temperate and dies in warm surroundings.
(37 degrees)
Avoid contact in crowds, you don't know where they've been or
what they've touched.
If sick, go to a clinic with a mask. Do not clinic-hop if you continue
to feel unwell. Go back to the same doctor. He/She will advise
you on whether you need to go to a hospital to assess the need
for quarantine, or treatment.
Herbs like thyme can aid coughing when added to warm water.
OK that's all for now...I had a flu for a week and I went to the
doctor with a mask and I drank thyme + water and I ate my
medicine and I rested well. Then I went to watch X-men, after
taking my temperature (I didn't have a fever). I caught the flu
bug from a friend who came out even though he was sick. Be
considerate. Avoid meeting your friends if you are not feeling
well. You are putting them at risk when they fall ill and immune
system is weakened.
ok that's all for now. I really hope you will know how to take care
of yourself because SARs is a clear and present danger.
Lastly, here's my winning smile:
