Fool's Flu

We interrupt this blog reading session to bring you a special and urgent announcement. For a long time now biological scientists have expressed fears for the possibility of the evolution of a Super Bug, ie a highly virulent strain of microorganisms capable of essentially annihilating the human race. Unfortunately, experts have recently made the grave announcement that they have discovered a potential candidate.

The ailment was first discovered in the person of an Undergraduate student at the National University of Singapore. The patient, who identifies himself as Jason Lim Yuen Hoe, describes the symptoms as thus.

"It started out like an ordinary flu, with the usual runny nose and all. But the discomfort quickly intensifies as headache, eye irritation, wooziness and intense lethargy quickly join an escalating avalanche of nasal mucus."

While these alone are alarming enough, experts have discovered another diabolically peculiar trait of the infection, which was dubbed Fool's Flu.

"The symptoms skyrocketed exponentially the more homework I tried to do. Especially when I attempted to work on my Math Tutorial - suffice to say I nearly died that time." Said a helpless Jason "It's as if the infection is sensitive to attempts at improving intelligence, and reacts aggressively and violently against it."

Under the deadly influence of Fool's Flu, Jason found himself bedridden about 10 seconds into each of his tutorial-solving attempts.

"I only completed exactly three tutorial questions in the entire span of the weekend!" Lamented Jason, who has voluntarily quarantined himself in his room.

The precise mechanics of how the infection could spread from one person to another is still not completely known, but health experts have the following advice for all who come within a 20 km proximity of Prince George's Part Residence.

"Do not share food and drinks, and keep clear of unboiled water or uncooked food. We do not know yet if the microorganism is airborne so keep three layers of cloth over your nose and mouth as often as possible."
