Swine Flu or Tempers Flew?

Ever since Adam took a bite of the apple the history of mankind has its share of curses, the latest being the Swine Flu. It first reared its ugly head in the midst of Mexico and scant attention was paid to it until it became widespread. It has now gripped at least 26 countries and the toll of death was one too many. Had the various authorities been more alert, the disease would have been nipped.

Their displeasure took a peculiar turn when the WHO applauded the stern action.
