Present, Dengue Blacklist

I got the shock of my life when I walked home one day and chanced upon a large banner that says: 'there has been 2 cases of dengue fever in your neighbourhood from 18/01/09'. I can't believe that I was oblivious to the banner until that very day. But then I saw it and everything changed. It felt like my neighbourhood suddenly became one of those quaratine villages that you often see in movies like 'Quaratine' and 'I am Legend', where people trapped inside were doomed and could turn into fearsome creatures anytime. Of course, I was letting my imagination run wild, but really placing the banner there makes people think twice before visiting the region.

A letter from NEA came shortly after the incident, requesting to do a check of my apartment for traces of mosquito larvae (about time, it was almost a month now). It's a good thing that the government is doing something about this, rather than just talk but no action. Of course, my apartment passed the test, otherwise I should be the one who would have contracted the virus. But still, I became a little paranoid after this, occasionally checking for bites and wondering if the bites could 'mutate' into the virus in a few days' time
