The last couple of months has seen the vicious chikungunya virus spread throughout the capital city, and government efforts to combat it have been feeble at best.
As expected, there has been some finger-pointing, with blame being shifted from the Health Ministry to the city corporations.
But this is not a matter of petty politics -- chikungunya is not yet curable, and the symptoms are absolutely debilitating, and we must do all we can to spread awareness about this disease.
We are all in the same boat here -- no one is quite safe from the virus.
Denial will get us nowhere. We need to treat this outbreak as a priority.
