Now I am in quarantine

Okay, so there has been one outbreak of swine flu on our MITIM '11 group. The person has been sick for more than a week and has been in hospital/home quarantine for one week now. Today, the report from doctor indicating that the person is sick was sent to GSOM. As a result, according to Russian legislation, our classes has been officially cancelled for this Saturday and Monday. On Monday, GSOM will see if there is a need to extend the quarantine. According to the ruling, there should be minimum 7 days since of quarantine since the outbreak has been confirmed.

So it could well mean that we will miss all week of school because of that.

It's a bit funny, because we should now also be in quarantine for the weekend here at the dormitory. We should stay in and not go anywhere. But of course, that is not going to happen because it is insane. I mean. The person who has the swine flu has already been in hospital and in quarantine at home for week. So how on earth could we have gotten the decease from that person?

But well, legislation is legislation and I guess we will just have to adapt to the situation. Lets just hope that we can go back to school on Tuesday, because there is not that much left of this semester and any delays in the classes now will just result to more insane end of the semester. As if the current one is not tough enough.
