The people of Dhaka are as worried as anyone about the possibly dreadful impact of Swine Flu. In fact, as residents of a hugely overcrowded and unhygienic city, with poor medical facilities, they have more reason to worry than most.

The first three deaths have just occurred, and face masks are now being sold on the street corners.

But not a lot else has changed – for example it is still perfectly normal to ignore the onrushing cars and dodge through the traffic. What’s dangerous about that?

People do not care those things. We are habituate in crossing the road forgetting the hazard of it.
