The mad cow swine flu comic is something the whole world would like to read. The mad cow swine flu comic may put the tragedy of swine flu in front of members of animal kingdom. One may ask why cow and swine flu are put together and what is the co-relation between these two diseases? If you look closely there is a lot of similarity between mad cow disease and swine flu, for example both originated from animals, on both occasions numerous animals were sacrificed even before the virulence of causative pathogens for human beings could be ascertained. I agree that these similarities are not relevant from biological or virological point of view but surely they are important from social point of view.
The funny thing about mad cow and swine flu was ‘ fear of these diseases’; on retrospect it seems that the fear of these two diseases turned out to be more lethal than the disease itself. Maybe we as human beings were lucky this time and I do not deny the fact that an actual pandemic caused by a new or new strain of virus may wipe out a fraction of our civilization. I also agree that the only way to stop a pandemic is to curb it in its early stages. But at least whatever happened in case of swine flu and mad cow is worth converting into a humorous mad cow swine flu comic.
Mad cow swine flu comic- An effective education tool
Although swine flu did not turn out to be as catastrophic as expected, may be next season comes with a more lethal strain capable of doing a collateral damage! Who Knows? I will just summarize few facts about swine flu that can be emphasized about swine flu or mad cow through a mad cow swine flu comic.
Firstly children are more vulnerable to swine flu. Secondly there is no satisfactory vaccination for swine flu till now so people are more worried about this disease. Swine flu has affected Mexico, Canada, USA, New Zealand and many other regions of the world and the death rate from swine flu is also increasing day by day.
However certain favorable points can also be emphasized through a mad cow swine flu comic like the mortality rate is less when compared to seasonal flu, spread can be curbed by following simple precautions as suggested by CDC. There is no need to panic if you get infected by swine flu etc. May be a comparison of swine flu and mad cow can be depicted as a dialect between a cow and a pig in the mad cow swine flu comic.
I personally feel that this sort comic will not only be popular, but will also grow in demand, partly because a lot of educational institutions may buy it for the purpose of creating awareness. Another opportunity is to sell it to health agencies that may use it for the purpose of free distribution.
