H1N1 Alert!

Updated 24 June - 11th circular from NTU

Hello Freshies (actually, for Seniors as well)! Sorry to be a spoilsport, but we really want to be responsible students (plus we probably won't appreciate the dubious honour of being the 4th cluster), so it's important for you to sit down and pay attention...

Ok? Here goes:

NTU has just sent an advisory with typical NTU-like caution(ah those wet blankets) regarding H1N1 (the 10th+ circular, complete with temperature taking exercises VIA the internet).

Apparently, all students who have just returned from H1N1 affected areas are to self-quarantine for 7 days. Meaning if you go overseas to these areas from 29 Jun - 6 July, you can't come for camp! Really! No kidding! If you do, we'll send the police, STARS team, even Chemical Defense on you! You'll be exposed as an irresponsible citizen on STOMP! It's not worth it!

Of course, that's not true. We really do love you, and want you to experience the camp we've specially prepared for you! But it's really for everyone's safety lah. We promise we'll be extra nice to you guys when school starts k? :)

The affected areas for now are:

Americas: Argentina, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, USA
Europe: Spain, United Kingdom
Asia-Pacific: Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, The Philippines, Thailand

However, if you complete your self-quarantine before the camp finishes on 10 July, you're still welcome to join us! Please email us at wkwscifoc09[@]gmail.com to work out the arrangements and inform us beforehand!

This will be updated in real-time with more advisories and affected areas (but hopefully not!)

Your H1N1 Special Correspondent,

This is terribly depressing news. I wish I hadn't got so excited about the Camp yet... T.T Stupid H1N1. Why oh why did MOH have to declare Indonesia an 'affected area'?!?!?
