SARS ALERT! Mom is coming back from Hong Kong TOMORROW!

[leung324]

OMG! OMG! OMG!
I and my brother will move out, so my mom can isolate herself for 10 days in this house.
It is more scary than it seems. my relatives would not allow me to live if them, if I see my mom.
the worst thing is I have to live without my computer for 10 days!!!

...Too bad for you.

 

[Colt45]

why doesnt she isolate herself in a tent in the backyard, while you and your bro have the house.

 

[SSP]

That sucks. Tell her not to travel if she think she had any of the early simptoms.

 

[PoPPeR]

is it really that easy to catch... even with the big # of people that have gotten it, aren't the chances still very slim?

 

[Evadman]

Nice Knowing ya.

nice first post by the way,
welcome to AT

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Ten days of isolation, after traipsing through airports, public streets & transportation? Is that some sort of official plan or did y'all just make it up?

 

[Koing]

You will probably be alright.

My friend came back from Beijing the 4 days ago. I will be alright, still more chance of you getting killed doing something stupid then gettng SARS but saying that I wouldn't want to live in one of the cities that have it though.........

 

[Evadman]

nice triple post sohdahere

 

[narzy]

oh for the love of god! that is complete over reaction. this is just bullsh@$#$t I can't belive this crap, holy mother of god this is stupd! if I knew who to kill, they would be dead!

 

[XZeroII]

less than .001% of the population over there has caught it and you are afraid

Give me a break.

 

[leung324]

ask yourself, if you would pick up a friend that is coming back from hong kong or china at the airport?

only my brother-in-law and my brother will go to airport to pick up my mom. my brother-in-law won't let my mom get on his van. instead, he will pay a taxi driver to drive my mom back home. my brother-in-law has gotten surgical masks (since I have work to do, so my brother goes to pick up my mom with my brother-in-law)
PS: none of my relatives would take the risk to pick up my mom

In Canada you're supposed to quarantine yourself for 10 days if you have had contact with somebody who may have had SARS.

Yes. I would then french kiss them, and maybe have sex right there in the terminal. but not with my mom. only a friend that was a girl.

Ya kno... cause the fact that your mom has SARS comes second to your comp

 

[glugglug]

You and your bro can hide in the fridge. It has an isolated air supply so you'll be safe from your mom! Plus, bring the computer in the fridge with you and it'll overclock better.

"CDC has been working with WHO to investigate and confirm the outbreaks of this severe form of pneumonia. The outbreaks appear to primarily involve health-care workers and close family contacts of suspect cases. Health authorities are on the alert for people who have specific symptoms of respiratory illness."

Unless your mother falls into one of these catagories, you shouldn't over react. Geez, I hope you give her a big hug when she gets home!

You suck, not to mention that you are hyper paranoid. Give your mom a hug and kiss when she gets back.

My God, what a load of garbage this is. Children and family treating their own like pariahs.

Get over it.

 

[snowdogg187]

Put her in the garage for a week.

make sure to give her plenty of food and water

 

[human2k]

Ban yourself from the forums so we can't catch it if you do get it.
