Nearly 900 deaths its 135 thousand persons infected in the whole world. This is the final balance of those who suffer from a new type of flu published by the World Health Organization. The new virus has been reported for the first time at the end of March, in Mexico. Nobody knows exactly where the outbreak was located, but it is assumed that patient zero was a boy of five years who lived near a pig farm. Later, specialists have determined that the new virus combining genetic material of swine flu virus, avian and human. WHO has decided to change the name of "swine flu" in " new type flu". According to specialists, not contract the virus from pigs. Instead were recorded cases when the pigs were sick of the man. H1 N1 expanded rapidly in the U.S., Canada, then Europe.
In early June, the WHO raised the alert level to 6, declaring first pandemic of the last 40 years!

It seems like we've been punished by God! Fires, floods, pandemics. I agree with the fact that are too many people on earth but do not think should die young people! But the disease do not choose who will be, it only collects

America, USA, America! May theye have brought harm mankind? they probably should be isolated from the rest of the world! If they do not want to take care of their lives, then at least not to influence the existence of others!

but still not finished with this virus ... so we can expect more scaring figures! I heard that the vaccine can cause side effects to children .. is this true?

[Riser]

There is nothing unusual or so horrible. Epidemic and disease have existed. Before were not made public. Now, are announced global and it seems out of the ordinary. For nature is normal. It dries the trees, get sick animals, get sick people! survives the strongest, not the weakest.

I don't know if all know what is Swine flu so - swine influenza is a disease of pigs. It is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by one of many Influenza A viruses. Approximately 1% to 4% of pigs that get swine flu die from it. It is spread among pigs by direct and indirect contact, aerosols, and from pigs that are infected but do not have symptoms. In many parts of the world pigs are vaccinated against swine flu.
Most commonly, swine flu is of the H1N1 influenza subtype. However, they can sometimes come from the other types, such as H1N2, H3N1, and H3N2. The current outbreak of swine flu that has infected humans is of the H1N1 type - this type is not as dangerous as some others.
Symptoms will generally be similar to seasonal human influenzas - this can range from mild or no symptoms at all, to severe and possibly fatal pneumonia
To protect yourself you must:
Wash your hands regularly with soap
Try to stay healthy
Get plenty of sleep
Do plenty of exercise
Try to manage your stress
Drink plenty of liquids
Eat a well balanced diet
Refrain from touching surfaces which may have the virus
Do not get close to people who are sick
Stay away from crowded areas if there is a swine flu outbreak in your area

The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed last week that the first swine flu vaccines are likely to be licensed for use in the general population in September. Initial batches of an H1N1 vaccine have already been produced, and clinical trials are underway.
Although a decision has not yet been finalised on which groups of the UK population will receive the vaccine first, it is likely to be people who are most vulnerable, such as those with underlying (existing) health conditions, frontline health workers (staff in contact with the public) and young children.

Even tomorrow I will go to a hospital to see if I can get vaccine, I don't want to get sick, I hate to be sick..

[Faw_Peter]

yes true. Yesterday all state governments have been notified of the possibility of a second wave of pandemic swine flu. They answered that they are prepared with vaccine and medical substances for treatment.

Swine flu can infect many Americans in the autumn-winter season, leading to the death of 90,000 people, according to a report by the organ, which advises the president Barack Obama, in science. The report says that most of the patients will be children..
