How to turn the heat up on flu
How to turn the heat up on flu: "The rapidly circulating swine flu infection in the country has sparked a rush to install thermal scanners at airports and malls."
Swine Flu
If people are panicking there seems to be a reason.
A week ago 100 cases and 2 deaths. Now , 27 deaths and 1500+ cases. And , new locations - chattisgarh has opened the account with 2 deaths.
The News is that the private hospitals(Bangalore) that were roped in to lessen the pressure on govt hospitals - were refusing patients with flu like symptoms and referring cases to RGIMS - which already severely stretched.
There are instances where the test results are arriving after 3 days - so if a person is infected - even after admitting he might have to wait 3 days before the relevant medication starts.
In these circumstances the only option is prevention - don't get infected.
And dont let your children to schools because - whatever the authorities say - containing the spread in schools with 40+ children in a classroom - is just not feasible.
Well, it does'nt get bigger than this.

TWO WOLVES
One evening, an old Cherokee Indian, told his grandson about a battle
that goes on inside people.
He said, 'My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
'One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false
pride, superiority, and ego.
'The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
Humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith.'
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'
The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'
