Yup it sure is about uncertainty vs. Certainty and Hope! ............................................................. Siska : Sis, hope JL and JH are all okay real real soon, and JL's not getting the H1N1 flu too there! ............................................................. Chitra : I think it'll be hard to 'contain' since it does spread real quickly (though not as deadly as SARS). hope it all gets better soon ... ............................................................. Sandra : I personally know some friends who're down with H1N1, and the preschooler (4yo) and daddy were picked up by an ambulance (upon lab confirmation that it's H1N1) and they had to stay at the hospital for 4 days. She missed her mommy so much (who had to be home with the 1yo brother) that she called her mommy and cried... Poor thing. I know the govt is trying to implement preventive measures to reduce the spread, but it sure is hard on those who get quarantined ya ... PS: the little brother got the H1N1 too in the end before the sister came back home, but upon request, the hospital allowed them to be 'home quarantined' instead (better than staying at the hospital for days, I'm sure) Imelda :

However, looking at the measures SG govt has in place, i can understand why people would be frustrated at the quarantine measures - maybe i would also feel the same worries if i lived there now & was exposed to the same media influences.

All these saftey measures gives us some kind of assurance. However we never know anyone can get it any time. I hope this sitaution will not worsen further though its not completely stoppable. Just pray to GOD to protect everyone.

In Victoria, I think only 2 ppl died of swine flu. but yeah... our gov't is not as attentive as sg gov't. the affected school will either be closed or opened with scrutiny monitoring. that's all the gov't does. i think it’s a good preventative measure what sg gov’t is doing. here (red. melbourne) we’ve got too many cases of H1N1 that the gov’t now has stopped counting.

Laboratories around the world are studying the strain of H1N1 virus, but by the time a vaccine is produced, the strain could have mutated and the vaccine may no longer be effective. Uncertainty generates anxiety. Only knowing that God is in control (Matthew 6:25-34) can help us find peace. What a wonderful opportunity to share that peace as God's children with those who are worrying!" A complete note can be found at http://www.zionbpc.org.sg/resources/bulletin/2009/b28june2009zbms8.30.pdf (Pastor David writes... H1N1 blessing in disguise?) I'm truly blessed by his note. God bless you all. As a parent, I’m worried, but let me share what my Pastor wrote on the church bulletin: “The uncertainty posed by the H1N1 flu reminds us of what life is all about: uncertain.
