Kerala Govt has been honoured in the United States for its effort to contain the spread of the deadly Nipah virus in a timely manner.

A proposal to cooperate with Kerala in researches and to set up an international virology centre in Trivandrum was also discussed at the meeting.
Dr Gelo was part of the team that identified the virus causing AIDS.

Imagine if a BJP Leader or Chief Minister getting such an honour.

The Media would have been all over it.
