This is an interesting story about patty judge and her personnel effort to create awareness about symptoms of swine flu and swine flu. In this course a video was shot unintentionally, showing patty coughing in front of a worried audience. This video is now known as patty judge swine flu video, as audience suspected that Patty is suffering form swine flu. I will just give brief summary about Patty jean for the benefit of those who stay outside United States.
Patty Jean Judge is the Lieutenant Governor of Iowa and has also been Iowa Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa State of U.S. Patty Judge has also worked as social worker in Iowa. A patty judge swine flu video was made when Patty Judge was pointing towards curial facts about ‘swine flu in Iowa’ in a conference. During the whole conference Patty judge suffered from multiple episodes of coughing and the recording became famous as patty judge swine flu video. After the conference she was asked if she is suffering from swine flu, to which she responded by saying “the cough was due to allergy and nothing else”.
Although her statement ended all the controversies surrounding her health, it did not restrict the popularity of patty judge swine flu video. This video was circulated through emails, was blogged about and was also discussed in tv shows. I am not sure how good did it do to Patty but it surely did a lot of good to people trying to create awareness about swine flu.
What is shown is Patty judge swine flu video
The video is nothing but an update on swine flu given by Patty jean and it is not something that shows Patty suffering from swine flu as the name appears to suggest. It is funny but true, the misleading name of this video has given this video a very high retention value. One more thing as Patty was coughing some people from the audience started expecting her to wear mask to protect other from any kind of infection that may spread through particle transmission.
Looking at the success of this video I feel it would be a phenomenal idea if all the governor generals should act and show the symptoms of diseases instead of spending millions in awareness campaigns. Once they do it, the media itself will propagate the message using their own resources.
