It's indeed sad that media, which shares equal responsibility with the govt for disseminating the facts to the public, is unaware of the real picture. Chikungunya, or ChikV, surfaced in India, in its deadly form much earlier than is being reported. In Gujarat and Kerala, it's killing people. But the govt chose to avoid mentioning it unless Delhi saw a few cases. As if India is only Delhi! In Gujarat, many elderly patients have died due to the nasty form of this virus. It's mutating fast and causing a rare condition of complete neurological damage. But no one's talking about it. This is EXACTLY what we are doing wrong.
