Flu

The H1N1 virus has arrived in Hong Kong.

Given the heavy human traffic between the affected regions and Singapore, it won't be far fetched to assume that the virus would arrive in Singapore as well.

S and I are pondering over whether to send Baby to the twice weekly playgroup we signed him up for. After all, this is not the normal HFMD that we are dealing with.

The thing is that we are not sure what is the right thing to do. To minimise Baby's contact with other people given his still under-developed immune system, or to carry on life as per normal and let him gain healthy exposure from interaction with other kids?

when was baby to go into the nursery school? i would say keep him at home for now. he is still too baby to worry about interacting socially. no need to expose him to other babies with the sniffles.

actually now he goes to a playgroup thingy. the nursery school doesnt start till 1.5yrs or 2.5yrs. maybe i will keep him home just these two weeks, cos the adults are down with illnesses as well!
