Not so

*sighs*

My blog page is no longer being blocked from view by our web filter. It's pretty sad really. I would love for it to be blocked due to "Pornography". Hahaha ... As if.

So anyways, I am currently updating this page in the last 10 minutes of office hours. A few scares of the H1N1 flu bug. Apparently a couple of students were home quarantined because one of their housemates tested positive. So far, negative results of infection were given to these kids.

Also, a student and a teacher had a major temperature increase. Just a sudden onset of fever. Both were of the normal temperature range in the morning. Then later part of the morning, the student complained of being unwell. Temperature taken registered 38 degrees C. So, student was advised to see a doctor and her guardian was alerted. Thankfully, it was just fever (for now, perhaps) and she was given 2 days medical leave.

The teacher's temperature was higher. She came around close to 4 pm to the main office to have her temp taken. Using the contactless thermometer, her temp was 37.1 degrees C. But she complained of feeling extremely cold. Her eyes were red and she was tearing. So I thought a more accurate reading was required and used the ear thermometer. She placed it in her right ear and the reading taken was 39.8 degrees C !

We told her that she has to leave to see the doctor but she protested that she had classes ongoing. So, just to be sure I checked the temp in her left ear and the reading registered 39.1 degrees C. Tears started falling and we had to "sternly" inform her to just see a doctor. She reluctantly left the school and her department head was just incredulous that her temp rose that high.

Anyways, considering the amount of travelling the kids and teachers had done during the school hols, I am pretty thankful that none had come down with a serious case of the H1N1 bug. Hopefully, it'll be kept that way.
