Back to Sars days

Just about a month ago during lunch, we colleagues were talking and joking about the days during the sars period. Who would have thought then that the swine flu, H1N1 Influenza A virus aka Mexican Flu would hit the world without warning?

We were suddenly taken back to the old Sars days where daily temperature readings had to be taken and the daily reports of death rates all over the world left everyone in a state of constant fear that anyone around us may have already caught and passed on the virus to us. Just a sneeze (cough for sars) would be enough to arouse fear and suspicions...

There was then a turn of events on 11 May 09 where Singapore's alert level was lowered to Yellow from Orange and daily temperature readings were not necessary after we learnt that the situation is not as bad as it seems. Thank God, we were able to breathe a little better with the relaxed rules although we were told we shouldn't let our guard down and must continue to observe personal hygiene... Up to date, there was no case of confirmed case in Singapore although Mexico and US had more and more cases confirmed. Sooner or later, it will surface in Singapore... till then, let's give our government the confidence to fight the virus and trust God for divine protection! :)


I will dwell in the secret place
Of the Most High
I will stay in the shadow
Of Your wings
For Lord You are my refuge
My tower of strength
My hope is in You
Secure I stand

You will deliver me
Your truth will be my shield
Jesus You cover me
In Your love no fear prevails

No evil, no terror
No arrow, no Plague
Shall ever come near me
For You are my safety
My hiding place
Jesus I trust in You
