Since this country was hit by Influenza A (H1N1) outbreak, I find myself to use elevator less often, and staircase more. A crowded elevator can be high risk place to catch the flu.
Of course, I don’t walk up the staircase from level 1 to level 5, carrying my notebook computer. If I am without my heavy load, going two or three levels up is certainly possible. It also doubles as a physical exercise.
Are you attached to elevators?
I notice that you are a very cautious person. It is good to take precautions.....
ReplyDeleteI do not always need to take elevator both at home and at work.
ya, better be safe than sorry..

ReplyDeleteActually I am not exactly cautious, but I see it doubles as a physical exercise.

Yep...
I don't use elevator nor lift at home and at work. So no worries.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is a blessing in disguise for you? Because now you can do more exercise? LOL :D
ReplyDeleteA more fit looking you now that you're using the staircase more? :)
ReplyDeletePoor me... i have no choice but use the elevator everyday coz i stay @ 23rd floor... i don't think i could walk up and down with the staircase :p

ReplyDeleteSo you use staircase too?

Correct!
Mei Ting
Not yet, haha...

23rd floor is not a problem for a gym rat like you, right?
I rarely take the elevator:
ReplyDelete1) because I don't have the patience to wait for it
2) because I hate elevator conversation
3) because they are always packed
4) because climbing a few stairs never killed anyone
I guess the virus is one more thing to add to the list now! :D
It's not practical if you're on the upper floors of a highrise office or housing block.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mexico did was a daring move but not without protest but it worked according to the government officials who came here.
I believe The Star carried an article indicating that WHO informed that the virus did not mutate afterall. Still, better to take the necessary precautions, yeah?
hmmm, i still taking elevators, because my office is on the 5th floor.. i only occassionally take the stairs when there are too many ppl queuing for the lifts..

ReplyDeleteYou hate elevator conversation? That's first time I learn of this reason :P

Yes, the virus has not mutated. Yes, I am not in the high risk groups. But I don't want to spread the virus.

5th floor going down is still OK, I think...
My office is on level 3, and often, I still do take the elevator.
ReplyDelete*blush*
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI try to use the stairs and avoid the elevator not because of the H1N1 but because it helps me to be fitter.
Btw, these days, everytime I use the elevator and press the buttons, I have this urge to wash my hands with water or the sanitizer. I can imagine someone with H1N1 pressing on those buttons and leaving trails of viruses behind!

ReplyDeleteTime to work out!

I sometimes use the tip of the umbrella to press the button, LOL...
