With the haze in the unhealthy range ( PSI 100 to 200 = Unhealthy) I saw many people going about without any protection. Worst still many parents and maids would be pushing their babies in strollers along the roadsides,parks etc. Few people realise the harmful effects of breathing in the poisonous particles and gases from the haze. I witnessed many children playing soccer and some adults even jog under such condition.
We have a friend whose 7 year old son was sick from playing soccer in the haze. He had a high fever and was coughing almost non stop. Fortunately, nothing untoward happened to the little boy. He recovered from his illness after medication.
I think those people are either ignorant of the consequences of not protecting themselves and their babies and children or they simply do not care.
Common sense will tell us that we should stay indoors if we are not at work or wear a protective mask if we have go outside. We also need to drink lots of water and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Due to ignorance or the couldn't care less attitude, the medical clinics and polyclinics are doing a roaring business.

9 am : After "work", I will be meeting a friend for lunch at the above place. Will snap some photos and post them here.
5:35 pm: Sorry I did not take any photos of our lunch. The place was overcrowded and was busy chatting till I forgot to snap the photos of the meals and the place. Anyway, it was at Burger King we had our Double Turkey Bacon meals. Fairly tasty I would say but nothing fantastic really.
