Swine flu

Swine flu is everywhere. We are advised to keep a distance of 3-5 mtrs from people affected with swine flu. It spreads through droplet infection and we dentists are always swimming in all sorts of droplets. What do I do if I find a sneezing and coughing fellow in my waiting room with a complaint of unbearable tooth ache?

I hope that the germs causing tooth ache and those causing swine flu are enemies and one does not show it’s face where the other is present.

You can rely up on our politicians to make a farce out of any serious matter. When we are worried about the situation and trying to find ways of dealing with it effectively, one Karnataka politician cursed his opponent that he gets swine flu and our media got a new twist to the situation about which they were getting bored. Now you may forget the infection, sufferings and loss of life. Enjoy the drama.

Farce is the right word! But lets not give all credit to the politicos... there's the MEDIA that deserves its share.

In Goa, i find people have come up with a novel way to beat the flu... just take a good old gents HANDKERCHIEF and tie it over your mouth in true bandit style!!! These guys obviously think that a flimsy damp hanky will keep out a virus that otherwise requires a Rs250/- mask!

Caution: The swine flu does NOT consist of little piglets flying around!
