There are a countless number of people in Hyderabad and in other well-populated areas in India who seem to have caught the Swine flu scare. The H1N1 influenza strain has not only contributed to extra health checks in airports but also major shopping malls are also cautiously checking for the infamous strain. In fact, many citizens have gotten into the habit of wearing regular surgical masks in order to reduce the risk of getting the illness. On the other hand, confirmed swine flu cases wear masks called the 'n-95'. This mask has three layers which gives utmost protection to the mask wearers from outside.
In fact, I saw a man selling thin surgical masks on a flyover near my house. People are simply terrified and feel like a thin surgical mask will protect them from the swine flu that has many ways of spreading. Private companies across the nation are trying to cash in on this scare by advertising products that claim to somehow control the virus.
