new flu outbreak

suddenly there is a new flu coming out and we should take more care on the incident going.

  1. it’s like the flu in 1918, i.e. young people are much more easier to be infected. so we should have a better living style.
  2. pros and cons compared to that in 1918.

    pros: organizations like WHO and more NPOs, medical development including genes, vaccines, and drugs; information circulation and alerts so earlier measures can be taken;

    cons: easiness for travel (mobilization / globalization); crowded living conditions in urban areas; fewer exercises / lazier and full of junk food.
  3. hope margaret chan not make mistakes like what she did in hk again.
  4. currently the deaths are still in mexico, and original outbreaks in there and mexicans populated southern part of the states, that may mean a. poor medial conditions there; b. virus is active in hotter & drier places.

may god bless us.

thailand

what will happen if their king, bhumibol adulyadej, goes to heaven in one day?

  1. what will military do? can their major partner, the states, do something?
  2. seems it's hard to have a civil war if military is still strong enough
  3. secession? there is so big difference between cities & rural areas

2008 legislative council election

below is solely personal opinion

the district i can vote for is nt west. there are 14 candidate combinations.

first i ignore communist or pro-communist candidates;
second those supporting too much welfarism i cannot support;
besides those with poor political experience everyone can give up them;

basically none can fulfill what i want.
so i can choose one from supporting fully democracy.

there is news coverage showing he intends to be ce in coming future.

what we need is universal suffrage instead of appointed.
