Spread Awareness not SWINE

It has been four months since swine flu has entered our nation.But the eyes of our government are opened now when the real panic started. Whole sequence of incidents were similar to Global economic crisis. The government kept on promising that Indian economy is intact ,its immune we won’t be affected ,but to all our dismay, we were also its victim, the best thing was that the extent of this fury was less on us because of our economic architecture.
Similar attitude is followed on Swine flu.Since the start of spread of H1N1 government and health ministry was assuring that we are safe ,and no proper safety measures were taken at the entry and exit points of country.
We all know that there is still very minor population that uses aviation as the means of transport, and further there is very less is used to travel abroad.
If proper check was taken at these places the spread of this deadly virus could have been lessened.
Its known to all that this virus came from developed nations & the toll of victims is much more there compared to india, but still they are not in panic.
After 4 months when disease is taking mammoth form government officials have now started making strategies to counter this menace.
We can’t blame anyone because its our habit of doing things in Damage control mode.
Practically in a nation having population more than a billion its next to impossible to provide medical facilities as we always wished, but using a proactive approach of dealing with such disasters could have reduced the damage.

The best way to counter H1N1 is simple creating awareness among masses ,which can only be done by electronic media.But as ususal this medium is not doing the right job,they are in mood to highlight those cases which has recovered from this disease.
Media should disseminate information on precauions,it should be responsible not sensational or breaking.
This disease is curable during its initial stages and sooner or later its vaccine will be available in market .Thus inspite of creating anxiety in masses we should spread awareness ,because government alone can not can not fight such pandemics acting as responsible citizen we should follow the preventive measures and start spreading awareness not H1N1…..
