Her test report on 14 August detected her swine flu positive. When health officials searched for her, she had left IIMA campus. Later the officials came to know she had gone to Delhi at her home.
About 12 students who were in contact with the girl are under screening now and being treated with Tamiflu for precaution.

I live in UK. All the members of my family had swine flue before some day except me. Surprisingly, it didnt infect me though we live in same house. They all recovered from it in 2-3 days.
There are no tests done in UK. Even in case of doubt, “TamiFlue” is given to patients. That is an effective tablet which starts working in a day. Planty of people here get infected by swine flue. It is not considered a big threat now. People are recovering from it very easily just like any other flue.
I think, same will happen in India too. I think media is creating too much havoc about it. I am surprised at number of deaths in India though. It seems swine flue affects everyone differently.

You are perfectly right. Yesterday only during our conversation with the Health Secretary of the state, same thing was talked.
