The consequences of the Great Swine Flu epidemic are many. As one knows, an epidemic occurs when a disease like a new strain of Influenza A virus keeps spreading between the people in a particular area during a specific time. But it is when the swine flu epidemic gets out of control and begins to affect populations across the nations in a very fast time that is beyond expectations that the epidemic turns into a pandemic.
The last great flu epidemic in 1918 in the US took a terrible toll and killed half a million people. It was estimated in 1976 that 1 million US citizens would die from the flu but because of the intense vaccination programs the Great swine flu epidemic of 1976 never took place. But the Immunization Program had problems due to some vaccination complications that set in and it came to a standstill.
The basic rules during an epidemic would be to protect oneself by wearing face masks, respirators, washing one’s hands frequently with a sanitizer, avoiding crowded places, and covering one’s mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing. It is the responsibility of the individual to dispose off contaminated facemasks and other equipment in a correct manner – without touching the outside infected area – and also to be on the lookout for the tell tale symptoms.
These symptoms are fever, persistent vomiting, sore throat, diarrhea, body ache, headache, acute respiratory and breathing disorders, etc. Immediate medical aid in the form of anti viral drugs and hospitalization and use of a ventilator is recommended. Early detection of swine flu and proper medical care helps in early recovery.
Any sensible person would figure out that if one’s personal hygiene is kept at the highest level, one reduces the risk of infection. It is highly recommended to use the Smittstopp spray on all surfaces. This is because the spray is not only effective but guarantees a long term protection. Once sprayed on a surface, it leaves behind a thin layer of cationic polymer that is positively charged. This cationic polymer attracts the negatively charged anionic microorganisms (viruses and bacteria) that is in the air to it, and then destroys them so that they do not breed or spread into the environment.
The principle that the Smittstopp spray works on is “electrostatic attraction”. No common or ordinary cleaner/spray should be used on top of the Smittstopp spray because these cleaners are negatively charged and they will neutralize the Smittstopp effect.
The Smittstopp spray can be sprayed on all surfaces in public areas that can easily get infected like table tops, taps, door knobs, handles, banister railings, lift buttons, etc. The Health Authorities should make it mandatory to spray all public places like shopping centers, malls, hotels, restaurants, schools, colleges and institutes, public toilets etc so that these places will be free of contamination by dangerous viruses and bacteria in the air.
The consequences of the great Swine flu epidemic can thus be catastrophic if proper measures to curb the outbreak are not taken. The entire population around the world will be susceptible to the disease which can spread like wildfire if not curbed. Necessary precautions have to be taken by not only the concerned governments around the world but also by each individual who should behave in a sensible and responsible manner.
