FISH FLU…anyone????

Sorry, bad joke though. But I’m pissed off…!!! Was not the avian influenza enough? Now it’s the bloody swine.
Few years back, H5N1 created panics all over the world and now it’s H1N1..!!! Maybe some more species are waiting to get transmitted through the bodies of fishes in the coming days..Oh God..!!!!
I’m not pissed off with the virus…mind you..but with the controversies that is doing a buzz around!!! The day Swine flu got detected, controversies followed from the social to political arena. Could not that be avoided?
Yes… easily. If the government work more and talks less , it can be.
It is stated that the flu is caused by a mild virus and effective treatment at the proper time would lead to complete healing .
7 deaths out of a 1.14 billion population should hardly create a field for controversy as more people die of malaria, tuberculosis and other familiar diseases. But some silly talks pinching the sensitive zone created a hullabaloo in the centre.
By now , enough has been done to kick the ass and make Government work. I just want to say : PLEASE DO NOT PANIC.AND STOP CONTROVERSIES.
Oseltamivir phosphate drugs are permitted for retail sales make a big opening to a better and effective treatment. Scaling up the clinical testing facilities are applaud able measures.To facilitate public places with hand cleansers accompanied with individual hygiene sense would resort to a no problem zone simply.
The Government should readily do away with the subsidiaries and allow the virus combating drugs to be available to retail shops and private organizations thus offering enough opening for the availability of drugs. It would readily do give a psychological boost to people that Help is close at hand!!!!

The danger of self diagnosis and hoarding, and the possibility of immunity arising from improper dosage by worried citizens can be tackled with effective awareness campaighns. Serious issues like AIDS or Polio are being combated with proper awareness facilities , so why not a mild flu??

Extreme measures of closing down schools , colleges or malls would be no need if the Government can ensure through media channels that remedial measures are available and are plentiful.
It is just clever tackling of problem that could easily produce effective results. I see no reason to panic if people keep up a hygienic precautions and disceptation if the working committee remains effective in its own prescribed job.

Maybe , there will be some other species who would be the victim … thus a new type of flu would crop up; but certainly I would wish the problems to be tackled without creating a fuss..!!!
The blame game is damn boring , Sir.
