good thing to let people know about this case everyday but please do one thing more , provide information about how those people got that case ? where exactly ( the place )? and when did the infected person knew about his in other words , after how much time ( hours , days ) he / she knew about his case ? also make an interview with those who cured so as to know more and how they have been cured..... more success to you

We are always told of the fact how many people are infected and cured and the history which most of the time makes people panic. In my opinion, in addition to that and which is more important is to know the way these people got infected so that one can protect him/her self. The best way is interviews with cured persons to be done and be posted on the web.

Hi, Thanks for Providing the daily statistics on the number of swinfe flu Infects. When we analyse the figures closely, the number of people infected is always increasing, however the number of people cured / discharged is always low. This is really worrying us. Can we throw some light on that and analyse the exact reasons, why the numbers are very less? This site is very useful & informative.
