Well hearty congrats to Suchitra!

And Shyam, we did miss you. But do come over to Pune. Swine flu will not

affect you if you have alcohol. Alcohol kills the virus. So you might as

well start swigging a few pegs. Khallas!

Dear Shyam,

Believe me, the incidence of Swine flu is pretty much the same in most big

cities - people are scared of Pune just because a number of cases have been

detected there - but that is because NIV is in Pune - and results were available

faster for locally referred samples. In the other cities, patients have had to

wait for many days to get through the paperwork and formalities with the public

health system - first to send samples, and then to get a report from NIV, Pune,

or NICD, Delhi - and that itself became a deterrent for sending samples for

testing - because most people got better anyway.

 

What I am getting at is there is as much of a risk of getting swine flu in Pune

as in Bombay - and, having said that, it is not such a killer disease as it is

made out to be.

 

Take care,

 

Prabha '84

Dear all,

That is not the right explanation scientific & ministry opinion is that Delhi

has more lab than any where in country but less case because primary cases were

detected & treated early. Contact tracing & tracking was adequate, Which was

lacking in pune . Bangalore Has same problem without NIV.

Prabha,

I agree.....

We should take this swine....swine flu virus I mean....seriously. Although it is

milder than the Influenza virus for NOW....after propogating from person to

person..it could mutate further and become the serious pandemic that we are all

getting scared about....!!

I'm afraid, Ashish, that's a risk that we have been running every year, with

every seasonal outbreak of influenza - it is not restricted to swine flu

alone....

Dont know abt that.

My cousin is an Ass Prof in AIIMS in Microbiology.Her asthmatic son developed

fever and flu symptoms.This is in the early days of swine flu when testing

centres were not as many as now.Her virologist colleague tested it for her

informally...and it was positive.Ab Tamiflu ke liye official test chahiye.So she

and her husband who is a leading cardiologist there pulled strings and got a

supply...for him -unofficially-and Prophylaxis for her daughter-dont know what

evidence there is for that...and all is well now.

I dont think this case actually made it to statistics...figures there are so

fudged...Delhi mein to lagga lagake kuch bhi mil jaata hai phir Tamiflu kyon

nahi...

I would agree with Prabha...so many flu deaths everyday ..and typhoid and

cholera.and hepatitis...phir bhi hum panipuri aur bhel khaana to nahi band

karte.To be honest agar public ko yeh confidence hota ki test aur Tamiflu aasani

se mil raha hai to itna panic nahi hota...here its freely avaliable so no panic

at all.

A fairly common story, . I've had personal experience with that. Public

health officials tend to resist filling in and forwarding the required forms -

because - if the official figures go up, it opens a can of worms for them.

 

So we do what we do best in India as far as infectious diseases are concerned -

we learn to live with them, and build up a fairly decent immunity against them.

 

As far as restrictions on Tamiflu are concerned, and speaking purely from an

epidemiological perspective, it may not be such a bad thing after all. There is

no control on over-the-counter availability / prescriptions of

antimicrobials here, and we would have had widespread resistance to the drug

before it was even declared a pandemic - and we would have managed to spread

drug resistant swine flu around the globe, with international travel being what

it is.
