Jimbo got very upset by what he saw in The Star newspaper today.
There, on page 3, is a picture of a health personnel, all gowned up with a disposable surgical gown, carrying a baby. The caption was: Fully prepared: Sungai Buloh Hospital personnel donning protective gear to deal with potential A(H1N1) carriers yesterday.
But take a closer look:
The N95 mask (which costs RM 4.50 each) does not even cover the fella’s nose! Improper use of a mask (no matter how good or expensive it is) actually predisposes a person to risk of H1N1 infection!
What kind of info are we telling the entire nation? That you can wear a mask, even wrongly, and think you are ‘fully prepared’??!
Ironically, on page 39 of the same newspaper, we have a picture of a woman (civilian) outside a hospital in Guatemala City and she KNOWS how to don the mask properly!
Fully prepared my A*S!!!
