Kolkata Workshop on Avian/Swine Influenza

Am here in Kolkata to help organize a workshop on for journalists and others on covering avian and pandemic/swine flu. They are taking swine very seriously here. At the airport, they take a form, your temperature and your pulse before allowing you to proceed to Customs. Everyone wears masks. I was impressed with the level of concern in tracking people coming into the country. More later.
