Today, after our weekly flag raising ceremony the nurse gave an announcement warning students and teachers about Swine Flu. She told Jingshan to pay more attention to any signs of sickness than one would usually, and not to hesistate reporting symptoms to one doctor or the nurses at school. Also, people should remember to shower and wash their hands often.
Last night, Hannah's host brother asked me to edit something he wrote about mainland China's prevention of Swine Flu. He said that mainland (he stressed mainland) China has learned from past epidemics like SARS and the Avian Flu, and that the government is constantly making steady progress in its prevention of future epidemics. He was not surprised that no cases of Swine Flu have reached mainland China, and that he did not believe any will. He trusts his government to protect China. If the government fails, however, "it is unquestionable that the Chinese people will unite and face the music," he wrote.
