NEW DELHI: A second wave of H1N1 infections is threatening to throw businesses
out of gear, with the deadly flu reaching epidemic proportions
in the last few days.
A single confirmed case could result in the entire office being shut down as a precuationary measure as happened in the case of a job portal on November 28 after a company executive and family members of two other executives tested positive for Swine Flu.
According to government data, 19,947 people have been confirmed positive with Swine Flu that has caused 627 deaths in the country till December 7. Of the 315 confirmed cases, 167 were in New Delhi.
About 800 people work in the Delhi office of Info Edge, which has five divisions including. “We have taken all possible precautions. We have put message boards to make people aware of the disease and are not taking any chances on this,” says Sanjeev Bikhchandani, co-founder and CEO of Info Edge.
In Delhi, some schools including some branches of Amity International School and Delhi Public School (DPS) and two playschools have decided to close for 3-4 days after a couple of students were tested positive for H1N1. However, doctors say such reactions are uncalled for at the moment.
“We expect more cases of Swine Flu in winter. H1N1 is a respiratory tract infection, which is common during winters. It is not that the virus is more potent, because the death toll has not risen,” said Dr Suranjit Chaterjee, senior consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi. Shutting down offices is an overreaction, he said.
Meanwhile, the government is procuring four million shots of swine flu vaccine. “We will procure the vaccine through a tender and global pharma companies GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novartis and Sanofi Aventis have expressed their willingness to supply the vaccine,” said Vineet Choudhary, joint secretary at the health ministry.

PGDM FINAL YR.
Here are some easy steps you can take to tackle a flu virus of any kind, including swine flu. It is not necessary to follow all the steps at once. You can pick and choose a combination of remedies that suit you best. However, if you are already suffering from flu, these measures can help only up to an extent. And, if you have been infected by H1N1, visiting a hospital and staying in solitary confinement is a must.
ReplyDelete1. Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi (known as Basil in English; medicinal name Ocimum sanctum) everyday in the morning. Tulsi has a large number of therapeutic properties. It keeps throat and lungs clear and helps in infections by way of strengthening your immunity.
2. Giloi (medicinal name Tinospora cordifolia) is a commonly available plant in many areas. Take a one-foot long branch of giloi, add five to six leaves of Tulsi and boil in water for 15-20 minutes or long enough to allow the water to extract its properties. Add black pepper and sendha (salt used during religious fasts), rock or black salt, or Misri (crystalised sugar like lumps to make it sweet) according to taste. Let it cool a bit and drink this kadha (concoction) while still warm. It will work wonders for your immunity. If giloi plant is not available, get processed giloi powder from Hamdard or others, and concoct a similar drink once a day.
3. A small piece of camphor (kapoor) approximately the size of a tablet should be taken once or twice a month. It can be swallowed with water by adults while children can take it along with mashed potatoes or banana because they will find it difficult to have it without any aides. Please remember camphor is not to be taken everyday, but only once each season, or once a month.
4. Those who can take garlic, must have two pods of raw garlic first thing in the morning. To be swallowed daily with lukewarm water. Garlic too strengthens immunity like the earlier measures mentioned.
5. Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).
6. Aloe vera (gwarpatha) too is a commonly available plant. Its thick and long, cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel. A teaspoon gel taken with water daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains, but also boost immunity.
7. Take homeopathic medicines — Pyrogenium 200 and Inflenzium 200 in particular — five tablets three times a day, or two-three drops three times a day. While these are not specifically targeted at H1N1 either, these work well as preventive against common flu virus.
8. Do Pranayam daily (preferably under guidance if you are already not initiated into it) and go for morning jog/walk regularly to keep your throat and lungs in good condition and body in fine fettle. Even in small measures, it will work wonders for your body’s resistance against all such diseases which attack the nose, throat and lungs, besides keeping you fit.
9. Have citrus fruits, particularly Vitamin C rich Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice. Since fresh Amla is not yet available in the market (not for another three to four months), it is not a bad idea to buy packaged Amla juice which is commonly available nowadays.
10. Last but not the least, wash your hands frequently every day with soap and warm water for 15-20 seconds; especially before meals, or each time after touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu virus such as a door handle or a knob/handle, especially if you have returned from a public place or used public transport. Alcohol-based hand cleaners should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and warm water.

awanish the way you have selected to share the information and all is the best way because after facing the interview specially our friends have to answer a single question many tiimes so by this way all get the answer without giving pain to the interviewee who is already in a pain after being interviewed.
ReplyDeletegood efforts!!!!
ReplyDeletePrevention is better than cure. Well placed...
ReplyDelete.....; but any point of time it shouldn't reflect our inability to handle a situation tacktfully. The words of wisdom from an expert of the level of senior consultant (Dr Suranjit Chaterjee) at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi quoting that shutting down offices is an overreaction, should dispell any further panic.
Brave hearts should follow smart brains.
