Hunting for Tamiflu



Hubby flew off to Guangzhou on Sunday morning. To protect himself against the flu outbreak, he equipped himself with loads of face-masks, hand sanitizing gel and Tamiflu. Was fortunate to be able get 5 boxes of Tamiflu; as it was snapped up when it was published in the media that it is the prevention drug against Influenza-A. The price has gone up from RM 105 per box to RM 140 per box within 24 hours!!

Face-masks is another item which the price has doubled overnight. Normal price for a box of 50 pieces 3-ply surgical mask is RM 24.90. It is now sold at RM 50.00 per box; if you are lucky enough to a box that is!
I have been coughing and having flu like symptom for almost 3 weeks now but no I don't have any fever or diarrhoea. So I don't think I have Influenza-A. To protect mui mui from catching all these bugs from me. I have been wearing a face-mask whenever I am near her, that include sleeping time! I hate how the mask makes my face super oily and sticky.
