DU colleges future breeding ground for Swine Flu

The number of students in schools infected from swine flu has gone up drastically in the last one month. The school authorities took the right step by closing schools for some time and postponing all mass gathering events like award functions and inter school fests. Though schools
have been reopened attendance is not compulsory and parents of wards who are doctors have been invited to impart information about H1N1 virus. But nothing like this has happened till now in any of the colleges in Delhi University. A lot of private universities have been closed so that at least count of those infected does not go up. Students from all walks of life, from all places come to college regularly. Some like live quite far and have to travel a lot. So just imagine the consequences of such lenient behavior by our government and think how this might be the beginning of another epidemic like plague. The irony is the place where Swine flu initially originated from i.e, Mexico has got the situation under control. And we are reeling under the threat of an epidemic. I have to go college tomorrow again where I take a metro and two buses to go(approximately 15 people) to my college (approximately 35 people). So if anyone has swine flu think how fast it will spread, think not only of me but everybody else who cannot confine themselves in houses. Think how many people you meet in a day or speak to and then imagine how many people they must be meeting. The thought will be mind boggling and so are the numbers. In the past one month 864 people have been infected with swine flu. Shocked??? Then write about what you feel about this issue.
