I asked few measures from a Doc which we can take to do our best to avoid letting this flu get anywhere close to us:

Use A Facemask Wenever Going Out.

Use lot of Alcohol/sanitizers/Dettol

Use Boiled Water

Wash Hands Many A Times During Day

Avoid Eating Outside Food

Make Sure to Keep Vitamin C Intake in Ur Diet- Lime/Lemon Juice and Drinks

Avoid Public Urinals.

dude I got this as SMS today from 2-3 people...

but the point is whats the problem in getting 3M mask, I checked out amazon and some sellers ship it internationally too.

So like 30 masks would cost me around $45 shipped INDIA.

I dont think thats a bad price, you never know when it spreads.

Did I read that right? :O
Well you know what they say - what goes around, comes around :cool2:

AFAIK the mask is intended for people with infection, not the other way around. So stop hoarding and profiteering when there are people who actually need it.

Eddy i said it to him becoz i know he wont b able to source for me(he will source for his uncle/aunts if its in limit quantity to doc.....friend never comes first here) .....i m happy with my handkerchief.....if the level increases 2 handkerchief on face...the mask looks much like u r a person infected and ppl are unpleasant to u while speaking...

Absolutely essential.

Lastly, DO NOT PANIC.

Any symptoms like dry cough, breathlessness consult your family doctor first before rushing to any H1N1 screening center, else You might come in contact with someone actually suffering and get the same.

The Indian news media is good enough imho to frighten the concerned authorities to take the required action.

This is to increase your immunity. No harm in consuming the stuff mentioned, though immunity can't be improved overnight.
 
its not only getting transmitted thru nasal contacts also by touch the infected persons hand, thru ur eye, thru any secretion from our body
so if its fate it will come
me scared in my clinics because out off 70 flu like symptoms around 10-15 cases were just saying by themselves that it might be a flu
we are afraid
and in this distant pace no labs to diagnose it and medicines too not avaialbe
 
i think its jus media hyping the matter so ppl make money off of it.
more ppl die of malaria then swine flu. I don't see ppl wearing masks for that.
I took a ride down mumbai trains today and the place looks like the movie 28days later.
I think fear has gotten to mumbaikars. And i guess cipla or some company is gonna make large qnty's of TamiFlu.
 
Dude, DO NOT ORDER THOSE MASKS.

For one, they are not recommended by the health ministry for the masses.

No. two, they DO NOT protect you from getting the flu.They just prevent those who are infected with it from infecting others.

No. three, you would be by getting those masks help worsen the shortage and help the various companies looking out to take advantage of situations like these.
