We are not dead, because a minister says so.

Indians are convinced that all the jokers in the world are in this country. Delhi Health Minister, Satyendra Jain insisted that Chikungunya cannot kill, because Google told him so. He also advised people not to go to hospital because it is only a viral illness. Perhaps if the minister actually contracted the disease, although we do not wish it, he would appreciate that Professor Google gives general information, while each person reacts differently to an infection. That is why doctors train for years. The WHO gives exact figures of deaths due to Chikungunya in various epidemics all over the world. The WHO also accused the Delhi government of concealing the true figures of the twin epidemics of Dengue and Chikungunya. No one has talked about malaria as yet. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal is not receiving any sympathy after his surgery to reduce his soft palate and tongue, which were enlarged, not because he abuses everyone constantly, but because it was causing chronic cough because of aspiration of sputum. If our lot are jokers others are no better. Hillary Clinton has been accused of using a body double because of her rapid recovery following a near syncope during the 9/11 commemoration and the absence of secret service agents when she emerged from her daughters apartment. If Saddam had doubles why not Hillary. The question is if the double does the campaigning will she become president, if Hillary wins in November, or will Hillary get the crown because people were actually voting for her because they believed the double to be Hillary, even though she is not? Very complicated. Clinton has been diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia which is being treated with Levofloxacin. The pneumonia is being dismissed as insignificant, but pneumonia is always to be taken seriously. She had a myringotomy in January, which is small hole made in the ear drum under general anesthesia to let out accumulated fluid from the middle ear. The middle ear drains into the upper part of the nose through the Eustachian tube which gets blocked in children but very seldom in adults. She is on Warfarin, which is a blood thinner, prescribed for a clot in her brain. Warfarin cross-reacts with many other drugs and needs regular tests to keep the thinning within range. Had she fallen when she stumbled a cut would have resulted in prolonged bleeding. Donald Trump is on low dose Aspirin even though he has no evidence of coronary artery disease. Why did he undergo a colonoscopy, which is extremely unpleasant, when he has no symptoms? Strange. Americans get treatment before illness gets serious, whereas out lot do not even respect death. The joke is on us.
