There is a terrible flu going around India now so for those going there please be very careful. It has caused many fatalities. I post this because it just hit close to home. We just learned that the niece of one of our friends there, a 32 yr. old woman just passed away from this in Jaipur yesterday. I heard she had it for 1-2 weeks and finally became septic resulting in multi-system organ failure. Please be very careful if going there.

Hi Percy. My wife's calls home about once per week, usually to Delhi and she has been told this flu is still around so please be careful.

And BTW how about that Ryder Cup! Pretty good !

I wonder how the US would do if that was all they had to prepare for. They play the Presidents Cup yearly too.

Yes, its dengue which is rampant in some of the states in India currently. Just be informed about symptom/first aid etc and take care. However its not an epidemic.
