Swine Flu Scare
Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has admitted that no government measure could prevent the spread of H1N1 influenza in India, and according to WHO predictions, around one-third of the Indian population was likely to get infected with the virus over the next two years.
With Swine Flu spreading fast and recent cases of people tested positive for H1N1 influenza in New Delhi, some of the schools in Delhi have decided to remain closed for a week. Two schools Sanskriti and DPS (East of Kailash) will be closed for a week after their students, three and one respectively, tested positive for H1N1 influenza. Thirteen new cases were reported from the capital on Sunday five of them school children.
On one hand closing the school will help in curtailing the spread of Swine Flu among other students but on the hand it’ll create panic in the minds of people who hear about such news.
What do you think should be done to control this Swine Flu scare? Should the Delhi University colleges be closed?

Primary sections of all Delhi schools should certainly be closed. Smaller children do not know the severity of the condition and cannot maintain strict hygeine levels. We are exposing them to a dangerous situation since the degree of spread of swine flu is high.
