If you’re aware of the recent global outbreak, then you must be attentive without limits. Surely, avoiding close contact with someone infected by the flu, frequent hand washing, on strict nutritious diet, daily physical activities like exercising and some sorts of basic preventions, are not enough.

The first thing that will come into our mind when talking about A (H1N1) virus infection is the chief issue of hygiene and immunity. The better the sanitation we put into practice and the higher the level of our immunity, the less likely we’ll get infected. But we ought to assume more than that. Let’s not fall short to evaluate our lifestyle that could possibly risk our health.

One of the key lifestyle that could place our physical condition into peril is getting into Disco at nightclubs. Not because Mr. 50 Cent the rapper with a gun, labeled one of his hits as “Disco Inferno”, but to a certain extent that Disco-life or something similar like live rock concerts has the higher possibilities of spreading pandemic flu.

Okay, just in case you don’t get me, consider this; you come to Disco alone or with your berks. Order some beer, redhorse or colt45 then succumb to drunkenness in just about, say 15 minutes. Then afterward, you feel the need to bop or boogie, and that’s when you start dancing, the dancing style and stance that makes you feel you’re the best among the crowd and to all those who dance around you. No one cares if you do it in a froggy way, you are drunk after all.

You happen to meet someone you’ve known years ago, and yells in at him “Hey man!, it’s good to see you here! How are you! Been too long! Who’s with you?” His response would also be in yelling tone mixed up with hysterical excitement. “Whoooaaaww lucky day! Small world! I’m doing’ good man! It’s been years indeed and feels good to see you back! Come on here and meet my friends!” So, you meet all his friends, get their names, talk to them and share laughers, all in the manner of “in your face” yelling, for the reasons that being an inebriated and with active huge amplifiers from every corner, can be so deafening.

Definitely, it is red alert to everyone who loves to go live concerts and Discos. The “face to face” yelling could establish potential threat to everyone inside the club. Droplets like showering spittles from random mouths are the primary concern. It could get worse when you hack into kissing with some liberated woman, who happened to have kissed with a visiting foreign from pandemic-prone countries days before.

Alright listen, I know I’m not the right person to hold your Saturday night disco. Everyone is entitled to their own happiness and delight. But I must warn you not to go, and if you’re too adamant, then you must do it with surgical mask with you. Each and everyone of you.
