H1N1 In China

Before I flied back, I heard a lot of the emergency strategy for H1N1. I was examined temperature twice on plane, and filled a table of my detail address and phone number, even my future seven days plan. Actually, long before that, there was some one visit my parents and asked them to make me stay at home for seven days.  Except that, you can find the propaganda for H1N1 everywhere. There are some Leaflets at the first floor.

Maybe due to the reason of SARS, China has raised the level of protection. There is an saying populated from the China civil war, quite suitable to describe this situation --  Preferring to kill 300 people by mistake, not let anyone escape. If there is only one people on plane had abnormal temperature, all the people on plane will be quarantined.

A lot of people comment it as a political show and overdo for the reality. And in Chinese medicine perspective, the H1N1 is related to the change of weather, nothing big deal. And people should be peace with it as well as with nature, no panic no trepidation.

From today's newspaper, there was a news that duet to the huge cost of quarantine and treatment. The government changed the policy. Government will only take care of the people who is serious sick. And the other people should be cured by local hospital, quite ironical comparing to the attitude before.
