		<description>I do believe that govt is reacting in all posiible ways to protect us , but the problem is that many diseases claim more lives than swine flu, but as the who declared it as a pandemic it catches our attention. I believe if the same attention and awareness is created for all the diseases , we will be able to see a much more HEALTHY INDIA</description>

		<description>it is a pandemic, not an epidemic. Simple cleanliness and hygiene measures are good enough to limit the contamination. Moreover, there are medicines! All that are lacking  - i) wrong info to people by chemists and other pharma people to do HUGE business by selling illegal/fake TAMIFLU, masks etc. ii) Hospitals not adequately clean and iii) No proper channel to get N95 masks, though it should have been a priority by govt.</description>

		<description>Like someone noted above, there are many diseases, which is killing hundreds of people daily. Nobody cares about them or takes any precaution. One death (Swine Flu) in a state becomes the lead of a major newspaper. In one of the story inside the same newspaper,you can see various models of face masks. It has become a fashion statement. We should not sensationalise anything.</description>

		<description>Hi guys,

Visit the Ministry of Health website and go into the area of swine flue. 

They have an &quot;Draft action plan&quot; to fight H1N1 flu. Can you guess the size of the Action plan...... It runs to 132 pages.

No wonder the review and finalisation is not yet over and the Action plan still is in Draft stage whereas the nation is grappling with the pandemic with no clue on how to handle this menace.

India has got 10 milion tabs of Tamiflu. Do not get misled by this figure. This is good enough only for 1 million people as the standard dosage is 2 tabs for 5 days. UK has doses enough to cover 50% of their population. And they are planning to buy more to be prepared for winter (80% coverage is their target). 

We are busy here increasing the defense budget by a whopping 30 - 35%. Knowing fully well that its only a matter of time when the pandemic will strike India - what action did GOI take to make available the medicines in sufficient nos. May be they thought that they can fight this pandemic with Guns and missiles and so they increased defense allocations.</description>

		<description>true.... this is real and we shd take care. most of all the people who are infected. they should for their sake and for that of the others, stay away from the others. this will really go a long way. it was sad to see the students from pune, who&#039;s institutes have closed for some days are going to their home towns. why cant they be a little sensible and take care not to spread the virus to other towns. 

of course the govt needs to gear up a little more and be sympathetic to the patients, but we as citizens also should take the responsibility for ourself and our near and dear ones. acting selfish at this time will only prove detrimental.</description>
