SWINE FLU: SCARE, DARE OR SIMPLY CARE
The pig scare has gripped the world in vengeance… wiping its victim a slow and at times fast death… headlines scream, anchors ham, politicians foot-in-mouth quotes and the panic button is ineffective with more death that follows like ghosts…
The scare and dare formula doesn’t work in such a dreaded flu… the nation’s government should educate people rather than just press the panic button to shed their responsibilities. However, as usual, our politicians are declaring holidays for school, colleges and no-shows for multiplexes… If one ever uses the ‘common sense’ in true sense, will such a move restrict the flu to spread in real sense??? What will happen after a week’s time… will the virus disappear from air because the schools, colleges and multiplexes were closed??? It is really so funny when stupid politicians take such stupid steps…
First, the scare and now the politicians are daring the flu by declaring holidays with no real solutions to contain the dreaded disease. However, one of the best solution and age-old theory of ‘Prevention is better than cure’ has been forgotten by one and all. One of my friends living in United Kingdom suffered the disease and got cured within a week’s time with simply timely care. His wife informed me how the old couple fought with bravado rather than panic…
Swine Flu is more prominent to affect children rather than adults… the trend is known worldwide but in India, it was shocking to see how adults have been scared, rushing to flu detection centres and fighting among themselves in front of TV cameras… Adults, who do get affected by the flu, do face the problems if they already have many other medical problems, which increase the complications, so my friend informed me. Yes, it is true that European or the Western World is well-equipped with their governments’ active action plans than our corrupt Indian system.
To contain the flu, instead of being scared if people will calmly take precautions and help self by going in isolation units (at home or hospitals), one can get cured in a week’s time. My friend went into isolation for a week and it was like jail for the old couple to live separately after so many years of marriage. However, they took all the precautions, kept busy with work and the separation overcame the flu with a positive approach. Surprisingly, none of the medical fraternity, health minister or else the over-the-top electronic media is highlighting such a simple approach.
I got the happy mail from my friend just yesterday, while she shared everything about her husband’s treatment and isolation. Surely, there was pain, worry and suffering in her words… but the joy to overcome the flu with a small sacrifice paid dividends and it was so simple… simply care for the person suffering with swine flu, isolate him or her and just be cautious of small-small things…
All one need is an extra little care with love and affection…
