With the current fear of Pandemic, and as the school year is about to start it has made me ponder the following point:

The #1 prevention for Swine Flu is to wash your hands with SOAP.

When was the Last time, or even First time, you saw any Soap or paper towel in a Thai school bathroom?

And will this situation change in the penny-pinching atmosphere of your traditional Thai public school, or even Private schools?

Will our schools become the next breeding ground for a Thai explosion in swine Flue victims?

Makes me wonder what will happen in the next few weeks....

Makes me wonder if ANY Thai offial has even considered the question.

Last year the students themselves, in a National survey, condemmed the cleanliness of School Toilets.

What happens now?

One wonder how a air born Flu can be stopped by washing your hands with soap ??

Did they mean wash your mouth with soap if someone sniffles, coughs, sneezes next to you ?

Airborne that gets on hands when you sneeze or cough and cover your nose and mouth, and on keyboards that are commonly used in computer labs and school offices...

Airbone germs and viruses are not only passed by breathing them in, but also passed on by touching something that has been infected by someones sneeze or cough.

Washing your hands and cleanliness are basic sanitation and prevention requisites.

Except in Thailand!
