Swine flu cases up in Maharashtra

Incidence of H1N1 influenza A, usually known as swine flu, has gone up in the state of Maharashtra in India. There have been 40 deaths due to swine flu in 2017 so far, with 14 deaths just in the last week. This sudden increase in swine flu cases, particularly in cases that turn critical, is making health officials take note. Most critical patients develop respiratory distress, and are typically people with immune compromise or who delayed treatment.

There have been 182 swine flu cases and 40 deaths in Maharashtra, with the greatest number occurring in the city of Pune. Health officials encourage people to get the influenza vaccine, seek care early if they feel symptomatic, and keep up good health practices such as hand washing and eating well. People with immune compromise should be particularly careful.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
