SAVE OUR NATION
Alive Earth Goes Dead

Another set of impractical advisory:

For example, "Stay away from infected people" and "Avoid crowded places", If you know how the average Indian commutes everyday, you shuold not have come up with this idea. In a crowded train or a bus, there is no way to find out if your fellow commuter is infected or not.

Do you know, Governments Flu portal advisory asks us to take home isolation, without any guideline to health risk to other family members (US advisory clearly mentions it).

"Good Hygene" - Hello, if and when it hits the slums, tell them the story.

I am not panicking, I am angry like hell.

Time to break a myth -
H1N1 (swine strain) was not invented in March.
Fact is:
It evolved by recombination of various other Influenza A viruses (H5N1, other H1N1), by gene swap and other recombinations. The spanish flu virus was also H1N1 ( and it killed 50 million in 1918-19), the swine flu strain is less virulent in its March-May form. Which strain is infecting us now? The Govt. is simply not telling US.

Myth:This is the mildest of all flu and H1N1 is first found in 2009.
Fact is:
In July,2005 at Pandharpur, Maharastra (Strangely near Pune) five H1N1 cases were found (Test : Uncultured throat swab and Nasal swab) by National Institute of Virology researchers. Strangely their opinion is not aired this time around.
