Thanks to the deadly virus which has affected thousands of people worldwide and claimed 4 cases in Mumbai, SVKM has decided to close down its colleges for the entire week. Of course NMIMS is no different, even if its an MBA college.
This has brought cheer in the entire college but time to think what should we do for the rest of the week (5 whole days).. This leads to boredom, my greatest fear..
Something to tell about swine flu..
Swine influenza (also called H1N1 flu, swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.
The H1N1 viral strain implicated in the 2009 flu pandemic among humans often is called "swine flu" because initial testing showed many of the genes in the virus were similar to influenza viruses normally occurring in North American swine.[43] But further research has shown that the outbreak is due to a new strain of H1N1 not previously reported in pigs.
Till date 10 people have died in India because of swine flu and 1870 worldwide.. (source: wikipedia).
959 confirmed cases in India and 218337 case worldwide..
I hope this situation improves and the government does everything necessary to stop this pandemic and not just release press statements.
