With swine flu raging in India’s Uttar Pradesh, the state’s chief minister made quite an eyebrow-raising statement, saying that the flu, whether swine flu or any other type, is no different from a cold. Yogi Adityanath took the media to task for sowing “panic” over the growing number of swine flu cases in the state, as he announced a “health fair” to be organized at dozens of primary health centres across the state on Sunday.
