BLOODY SWINE.....

Oh no abusive language is being used here....its just about SWINE FLU!!!
It has been quite some time now that this word hit Pune, and the death toll has only risen since.
Well this post was long coming now, and the last nail was the news that I just heard. The person sitting 2 seats next to me in office got hit by Swine Flu!!!!
Well the HSE(health safety environment) head just came to speak to us, his words were "Pls. do not panic after listening to this, in case any of you guys have the slightest of symptoms of any trouble which may seem to be related to Swine Flu please inform me at the earliest". Till this point of conversation we felt that it was his regular activity which he probably was doing with all the employees. He continued," The lady who was sitting here at seat no. 109 has actually been admitted to the hospital and it seems she has Swine Flu , well she is pretty ill, and just to ensure that you people have not been affected as of now I would request you to please be honest and let me know of any such symptoms".
We were blanked out, that female was not coming to office for the last few days, but none of us ever imagined that it was because of the deadly flu. All the puneites have been at least a little scared about this epidemic, and we are no exceptions. We were taking quite a few precautions to ensure that we were at the maximum possible distance away from this infection. This has come in as a shock to us that we were so CLOSE to it.........the area has been sanitized properly and still most of us are feeling that HEADACHE which is more of the fact that we now know that there was infection around than anything else!!!!
I am sure these seats around are not gonna be occupied for some time now. Just wondering when that female returns how would be the reaction of people around. Well, due to some re-shuffling of teams I am going to move to new a seat from tomorrow, and actually I am already at a new place so I will be spared from acting WEIRD when the infected soul (oh I mean body) is back in office.
Time for using the HAND SANITIZER!!!!
All you guys pls. be sure of taking all the precautions, because it is quite likely that since most of us here in this area were taking extra precautions none of us got affected (till now).
There have been a lot of mails floating around on how you should take care and had a long list of Dos and Donts, pls. read at least one of them, stay hygienic and stay safe.
