I think this country is copying UK. When there was much talking about British MP's claiming large expenses from its own people the government found a diversion from the bad press to create a new one "The Swine Flu ". Every year 250,000 too 500,000 people die from seasonal flu. Uk tried free phone help lines to its citezens to make the government to sound efficient. It was hardly used and they had to be closed. As far as masks are being provided, the mask has little or no effect as the virus is so small and it would pass through it. The masks would be good to prevent the badly maintained vehicles from the exhaust fumes reaching the lungs. This to me is a ploy to get bonus points for the upcoming election.
