Ever since that bruising battle against SARS back in 2003, people from Hong Kong would flinch on any mentioning of new viruses.

My sister works as a trolly dolly for Cathay. After a lot of hoo-hah, her union finally won them the right to wear face mask whilst serving on the plane. But that wasn't enough to stop her from panicking when one of her passengers from Taiwan was later confirmed to carry that infamous swine flu.

Suddenly, she's tired all the time. Suddenly, she had this headache that just won't go away. Pacing around for half a day, she eventually checked herself into the hospital and stepped right into a disaster movie set. They kept her in isolation, bled her every hour and tested her bogey every 5 minutes. Even if she cleared all the diagnostic tests, they'd still quarantine her for at least a week.

Poor Ms Piggy.

I should've answered the phone and screamed "no, you don't even have a fever. Go back to bed!"

I don't think she kissed all her passengers...
