H1N1: “Carry on as usual” or “quarantine and social distancing” ??

H1N1: “Carry on as usual” or “quarantine and social distancing” ??

This was the big question that i was having until today. Some times i thought the media is giving much hype and the actual influenza is not that deadly.  But some times I thought if media is not giving this importance, our Govt or any body responsible will not take this serious and end of the day, we all suffer.

But today after reading one article in the magazine “Prospect” about the Great Flu Pandemic influenza happened during 1918-19 which killed 228,000 Britons, i got to know the basic theory “NEVER UNDERESTMATE” any influenza.

In Machester when people are adviced to quarantine and social distancing, infections and death rates were lower that else where in Britain. This remained so until the armistice celebrations on 11th November 1918, which brought crowds to the streets, throwing people into close proximity. A week later, the Machester saw an “Alarming increase in Mortality”.

What I am trying to point out is to..  learn from history.

Lets take care..

Follow “social prophylaxis”

Lets wear N95 mask when going out

Stay Safe From The H1N1
