You’ve probably had:
1. Bought a mask and went underground like a little bitch
2. Trying to take precautions against air-borne diseases
3. Had enough with the media coverage and did not give a damn and carried on with your life

I stand by point #3 here. Let me explain.

There are 6 billion people in this world (give or take a billion – Thanks to India and China). There are about 1.1 billion people in India alone (The assumption is ALL thanks to http://censusindia.gov.in/ and http://www.censusindia.net/ for crapping-out on me at the time of writing this post)

Im assuming that there is atleast a 10% population with HIV/AIDS. Another 3-4% of people with TB and about 5% of population with other terminal diseases
And just 10 deaths out of 1.1 billion people (turns out to be 0.0000001%) contracting and dying of H1N1, and India starts to freak out. What is the Government doing ? They want to have only a handful of government run hospitals “authorized” to offer mediation and treatment.

If you are declaring a “Pandemic” as stage 6 (the Boss stage where he kicks your ass – Remember Super Mario Bros ?) and not doing anything about it, that’s just stupid.
Is the Media helping ? Well, to some extent yes. But I feel they are going a little overboard with this TRP bullshit

Is the Indian government doing anything about it ? Not that I can think of. Remember the alert issued in China when Bird Flu hit ? Do you have ANY idea how the Chinese government contributed just so the public is safe ?

We are a nation of hypocrites where a budget of Rs 550 crores is APPROVED for erecting statues which is DOUBLE of the budget approved for getting water to the drought-hit areas (Rs 250 Crores) – Yes, we are letting retards like her run the country.

The medical shops are selling the N95 (I think that’s what they are called) masks for DOUBLE the price, just to cash in on the opportunity. Tamiflu is being popped like a little kid feasting on M&Ms (from what I’ve read) – Dont be stupid. If you think you are a recipient, get yourself checked and THEN pop the medication.

Let’s hope the vaccine that’s being developed works, else we get to see more of “REAL NEWS” rather than the bullshit they show on India TV (which I honestly miss)

Moral of the Story: Be nice to your food. Dont mess with their heads so much that they hit back
