Hi, my name is Flu, Swine Flu...

Yes, we are in the mist of the H1N1 season and it doesn't look like it's improving. Well, at least people are not travelling as much for no reason (I hope). Was in KLIA 2 weekends ago and it seems like there we not as much people at the departure hall.

We definately need to do something bout the virus and its good that people are aware and taking actions. But then again, how much is too much / too little? Can we be over / under cautious? How about washing your hands everytime u touch a door knob / railing / shopping item? Or what bout shaking hands with another person as u greet / introduce yourself to them? Would you be labelled 'rude' if you don't return a handshake especially to a visitor in church? What are you gonna tell them? "Sory, I don't do handshakes, I fear that you might pass me the virus" What if, your clients extend a handshake? Would you do the same too? Or would you risk the shake for that good impression's sake?
