Swine Flu

"Swine Flu"! "Swine Flu”!! That’s what is in the news these days, and is creating a scare among people because of its ability to transmit from one person to the other. And it’s posing the biggest risk of a pandemic.


People are not taking the risk of flying and the airports are having thorough checks of their passengers before they get on the flight.


The WHO has raised the Pandemic threat level of the swine flu to Phase 5. Phase 5 is the WHO's second highest level of warning that a pandemic or a global outbreak of a serious new illness is imminent.


The start of Swine Flu, where the first known victim, was in a town La Gloria, which is in Mexico. Since the first victim, this virus has spread all over the world, killing an estimated 159 people in Mexico, and infecting people in at least eight other countries.

If any one, is experiencing, the symptoms below. Please see the doctor:

• Fever above 100°F
• Head and body aches
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Chills
• Trouble breathing
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea.


I hope the health official do get this virus in control and prevent it from becoming a Pandemic.
