What do you think the governments of all countries or your country should have done to prevent swine flu from spreading as pandemic? I mean death tolls are increasing day by day, couldn't they have stopped movement of flu virus, by checking cross border movements..I think its their negligence that people are suffering today..
In India, more than 200 cases have been confirmed, today Delhi experienced its first death due to swine flu, and no doubt it will spread in few seconds..The most terrifying fact is that in urban slums and rural areas in India, it will be completely out of control, once swine flu enters them, because there people strive for a single loaf of bread..how can they think of buying a mask, or going for checkup for a minor common cold like disease.. poor people they do not even know the name of swine flu yet...

Since it started spreading rapidly, I think the govt. should have controlled the media from creating a hype about swine flu and a panic in people. It would have saved a lot of damage indirectly.

It should have been contained in Mexico and all countries ought to have taken measures to screen travelers who have been infected from boarding flights and spreading spine flu to add to the already prevailing deadly diseases like malaria,
dengue and others.
