Islamic Naqaab Vs Medical Mask

The Western countries made fun of the naqaab (Islamic Burqa/Veil).
France President Sarcozy had issued a ban on the Viel(Naqaab).

And what’s happening today, entire world is wearing naqaab or mask, because of H1N1 virus.

Is such a sudden attack of swine flu a coincidence? No way.

No cost cutting

As H1N1 virus has hit the world, Oman Govt instructed all ministries and businesses should have anti-septic installed for its customers and employees to use it to boraden the awareness and importence to reduce the spreading of H1N1 virus.

As the global crises hit the world and global cost cutting been happening, with H1N1 protection, no more cost cutting, more expence then ever.

Infected from the hospital

An eldary woman over in her 80's died after she was infected with H1N1 virus from the hospital.

The woman God bless was admited in the hospital for health complication, none of her family members got infected. It seems that the next room had someone who's infected with the virus.

H1N1 takes away Muscat Festival

because of the H1N1 virus been spreading fast in Oman for over 1000+ been effected and 13+ death, the govt decided to cancel Muscat Festival for the year 2010.

Now Oman will be dead after taking the happiness from it and the turisum will decline too.

What to say, better be safe then sorry.
