| caroline... you took the words right out of my mouth. i am currently in xiamen and the local government insists that there is no SARS here... we're closer to hongkong/guandong province than shangai and so far from what i've read there are 100 or so cases of sars there. i'm really getting worried because my little boy is here with me and to tell you the truth i'm extremely paranoid about him catching it. i've done everything i can from disinfecting our apartment to constantly washing hands but there is only so much we can do. For example: we have relatives visiting from a nearby province and one of them has a DRY COUGH and is always sneezing. I can't tell her not to breathe so i just have to watch every single move she makes. when she's not in the room, i go over whatever she touched with alcohol and water... it's true what they say... PARANOIA WILL DESTROY YOU... but i'm not willing to take the risk.I'm exhausted. I'm constantly searching the net for any information (reliable... that is) that can tell me what the hell is really goig on. So far i've heard or read nothing about Xiamen... this makes me more paranoid. |
