Serious
outbreak of H1N1, known as swine flu has struck in India, causing more than 700
deaths in the last eight weeks.
More than
11,000 have been infected with the disease commonly known as swine flu,
Bloomberg reports. The outbreak is thought to be the worst the country has seen
since 2009. Infections have seemed to gain momentum over the last week, with
the total number of cases doubling since Feb. 11.
While the
government said that there was plenty of medicine available to treat H1N1,
hospitals have reported shortage—potentially due to individuals stockpiling the
drug as the outbreak worsens.
