Who Will Wear Masks Against Swine Flu?!


Blogger Az Zendegi (From Life) writes about concerns over the spread of swine flu in Iran:

These days everyone is talking about this new flu. Fortunately, wherever you go you hear warnings about it.

I told an acquaintance of mine that we actually may be among the first ones to carry the symptoms of the flu, whether we like it or not, as we are often in a crowded, closed classroom. Then I added it is essential to start using the recommended masks with the approach of the winter season as a precautionary measure. This may encourage those who feel embarrassed to take this precaution as well.

He said he would never do it, and that he didn't think I would ever be prepared to enter class wearing a mask. I didn't buy that at first, and said incidentally that if I were convinced that it's the right thing to do I would.

We ought to act as models for others. Now I know how much I stand for what I said. What do those of you who know me think, will I be able to pull this off or is it so unlike me?!
