'We're definitely aware'

- September 15, 2009 Dalnews reporter talked to 黄色直播 students about taking precautions, getting a flu shot and hand washing." />

Does the H1N1 flu worry you?听Dalnews听reporter Simin Fahandej asked some 黄色直播 students about the swine flu and here鈥檚 what they said:

鈥淧ersonally I don鈥檛 feel it鈥檚 a concern. There are other viruses that kill more Canadians per capita. I think there鈥檚 been a lot of media press about it, more than other ones. It鈥檚 not worth being concerned over. Given that, I wash my hands, try to be healthy and use common sense in general to protect myself.鈥

鈥淚 don鈥檛 really care鈥on鈥檛 touch me, don鈥檛 come near me. If somebody coughs I run, somebody sneezes, I run. I鈥檓 not really worried about it though. I feel I have a good immune system so I drink a lot of water, orange juice and I stay away from people who show the symptoms.鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 the media hype, if you keep something on the news long enough, it will become important. It鈥檚 less personally a concern for me. But I keep my sanitary precautions and keep myself clean.鈥

鈥淭he truth is I鈥檓 not doing so much. Back in my country people are very cautious about these things because we have quite a number of people who died but here I think people are more relaxed about it鈥 A lot of sanitizers everywhere which is very good and I think just keep yourself clean. In Indonesia everyone鈥檚 wearing a mask. In the airport people are checking you. But coming to Canada 鈥 it鈥檚 more relaxed here.鈥

鈥淚鈥檓 not taking any extra precautions. At (dentistry) school we鈥檙e using standard precautions as they do in dental clinics, washing hands, using hand sanitizers. But it鈥檚 not really a concern for me.鈥

鈥淢y wife鈥檚 pregnant so I鈥檓 going to get the flu shot this year but only because I鈥檓 told to get a flu shot by my wife鈥檚 doctor. I also work at a restaurant. I鈥檝e never got a flu shot before. But this whole H1N1 thing is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I mean it鈥檚 unfortunate that people are getting sick and some people are dying but I don鈥檛 know if you guys remember SARS鈥f people just relax and stop using Purell 75 times a day it will wear off.鈥

鈥淲e鈥檙e definitely aware of it from being told in class, which is good. It will probably reduce the spread of not just H1N1 but colds in general. But I don鈥檛 feel like it鈥檚 that serious. There isn鈥檛 this cloud of fear over everyone at all. I鈥檓 not overly concerned but I try to keep my personal hygiene as best possible.鈥
