Swine Flu on Twitter?

Twitter is one of the most popular micro blogging sites today. Thousands of people use it daily for hours and keep an eye on the latest happening.

The outbreak of swine flu is way more on twitter than in any other place. With all the major news channels and newspapers use twitter to update about their news, people sit and click on the news they find best answers their queries about swine flu. Twitter also helps them to know about local news as well as direct news from people who tweet to one another.

I just read on twitter that many people are currently scared or worried about getting the swine flu themselves and are asking people what plans to take. Twitter also has some survivor stories of swine flu which gives a light of hope to many who think swine flu is not beatable.

Many people are taking advantage of swine flu and selling ordinary face masks for as high as $10-$15 for just one mask. Claiming that they would be medicated, I really doubt it as the way that they are selling in the streets and marks aren’t they catching germs on it?

Even spam mail is full of swine flu. Every time I visit my spam mail, I see many emails claiming to have the cure of swine flu or how someone beat it by staying at home? Don’t open such mails. If there is a cure available at home, you will be informed via news channels or newspapers, not by these spam mails. Best thing is to keep your immune system boosted to be resistant and if you are elderly, a child or sick, try wearing a mask (bought from a pharmacy) to public places IF there is an outbreak in your country or area.
