India : Swine flu: Two dead in 5 days

Via Hindustan Times :

" The H1N1 virus, popularly known as swine flu, killed one more person on Tuesday and left another battling for his life at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital. This is Delhi's second swine flu-related death in the last five days. The government still insists there is no need to worry.

"The virus has become milder and even if the numbers rise during the monsoons, we'll be prepared... now we have indigenous preventive vaccines and drugs unlike the last time when swine flu struck the city," said Delhi Health Minister Kiran Walia.

Seven people in Delhi have tested positive for H1N1 in the past one week, with most hospitals getting two-three patients for screening every day."
