Talk:2009 swine flu pandemic in India

Untitled
We are not logging in the number of infected people. This data needs to be collected as well, so that the spread can be identified correctly. Requesting fellow users to log in info of infected people by City/State etc.Super sayan (talk) 13:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Merging this article back into any other article does not make any sense. India is a very large country, the number of deaths is starting to jump, and it has faced possibly more panick over swine flu than any other country since May. Even if that is not so, there is clear panick, and all indications are things will get more interesting before they quiet down.Johnpacklambert (talk) 14:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

counter?
In the line - "The only known drug to work against H1N1(Tamiflu) was not sold over the counter. " - what does "counter" mean? Can you elaborate in the Wikipedia article? - SridharRatnakumar (talk) 03:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The "counter" here is Counter (furniture). The sentence means that the drug Tamiflu was not sold in general medical stores, to prevent the virus from developing antibiotic resistance due to excessive use. —SpaceFlight89 04:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In the U.S., a prescription is required for anyone to buy medicine such as Tamiflu. Are such medicines normally sold to anyone with no prescription needed in India? That should be clarified in the article to help those outside the country understand the situation. Edison (talk) 18:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Timeline and increasing death toll
According to 2009 flu pandemic table August 2009 and this article, the number of deaths from H1N1 in India slightly more than doubled from 64 on August 26 to 131 on September 7, a 12 day period. This appears to be a faster time of doubling than in any other country with this many total deaths. Has the India health ministry or World Health Organization addressed the apparent rapid increase in the death toll in India? If the earlier total understated the actual number (deaths attributed to other causes) that could cause the doubling rate to look shorter than it is. Edison (talk) 18:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A timeline section, such as is in 2009 flu pandemic in Argentina would improve the article and help in understanding the rate of increase in mortality. The number of confirmed cases will likely cease to be meaningful as the authorities in some other countries stopped testing every suspected case after it became widespread. Edison (talk) 18:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I have been following death rate(deaths against confirmed cases) in India, and even though it is the highest in Asia, it is definitely lesser than that of Latin American Countries and Ukraine. Is there any explanation why the death rate is high in Latin American Countries? India is hit by shortage of diagnostic centers. J mareeswaran (talk) 15:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
