Swine flu (H1N1) fear grips Pune

H1N1 virus unleashes its effect on an average Punekar who is covering his nose and mouth with anything he can find - kerchief, dupatta, stole, saree pallu, cheap disposable mask, legitimate high-end mask, you name it...
I stopped at various locations to capture these video clips on my way to work today...

why this H1N1 virus ? Experts assume the virus "most likely" emerged from pigs in Asia, and was carried to North America by infected persons. To eat pigs' meat don't kill only animals...

I wish I had, rather could find the relevant information I need to process and work out if this seems to be affecting those people of a darker skin tones and so on, regardless any underlying health problems etc.

Not sure masks help as has been said now often else where, and washing hands, while all gives the impression of doing something, is often impractical.
