It doesn't appear to spread like other viruses so. So far, everybody who has had it has come directly from that region of China. It hasn't spread to others. Plus, those who have died have had other pre-existing complications as well- respiratory disorders, etc.
I hope Ek comes back though, she is one of the good bloggers. I have often laughed out loud at her very funny descriptions of everyday life in the African wilderness.
It's a pretty foreboding looking building, Har. I could see how it would work for Colditz. I wouldn't mind being a location scout. Finding the perfect location for films to be shot.
Practically everybody feels very nervous before an interview. It is natural. That is not a reason to avoid them though. The more you do, the less nervous and more confident you become.
I have a friend who would inevitably throw up and/or get diarrhoea before interviews. She still went. She now has the job she always wanted. Sometimes we have to put ourselves outside our comfort zone to get what we want.
Dress smartly, but comfortably. Ensure you know exactly where the interview is being held. Arrive about 20 mins early to give yourself time to go to the loo.
Do deep breathing exercises whilst waiting, to calm yourself.
Find out as much about the practice, and the job, as possible beforehand. They will want to know you are really interested in working there.
Be ready for a question that is meant to throw you out. Like 'What would you do if a patient became hysterical'
At the interview, sit with your legs crossed and hands on your knees. Don't fidget. Make eye contact. Smile. If you don't know the answer to a question, be honest and tell them. Don't try to fluff it. Instead say that if you were on the job, that you would ask a more experienced person.
