After Pune it is Chennai that is under the grip of Swine Flu now. Last night one kid from my cousins kid’s school Akshaya School contracted the disease. The kid is only in LKG poor one! And the school is in Velachery.. Just a stone throw from here…

But then if you have a cure for the disease why panic? There are more people dying of other curable known diseases every second. Check on this link to get an idea of this statistic click here

Also see this graphic which better illustrates the actual levels of infections compared to the other diseases.
