Swine is really a headache!~ Safety precaution can be seen anywhere. From working buildiing to school. The most obvious scene seen is temperature control. Office building is starting to engage external contractor to set up station to take temperature for every visitors. Students and employee is also advise to carry a thermometer with them, and monitor their temperature twice a day. Thermal scanner had been setup at Changi International Airport since 27th April. All this measures will interrupt the timely schedule of each and everyone.
The outbreak of this swine flu had seen drop in certain products, but there is also a rise in some products. Recently, the facility team of my company wanted to purchase hand sanitizer for all the staffs. The team faces difficulty in purchasing hand sanitizer as it has been sold out in most of the stores. To date, it is only one week after the outbreak, and the hand sanitizer has been sold out. Besides hand sanitizer, all other products that can kill bacteria such as Dettol is also selling fast. Is Singapore too health concious, or is it due to the attribute of "Kiasu". In this case, i don't really mind Singapore being "Kiasu". This "attribute" can certainly prevent Singapore from being affected.
