Latest Update on Swine Flu

Latest update on the swine flu:

-The swine flu has just been found in actual pigs.

-Officials still can't decide if they should make a vaccine just for the swine flu, they are not sure yet whether this is going to stick around or die out quickly. I think they have been hoping it would go away but it has not.

-Should the vaccine for the flu in the fall include a vaccine from the swine flu?

Swine Flu Map

Here is a link to the Swine Flu Map of individuals infected with the swine flu throughout the world.

The Swine Flu Map shows where the flu started in Mexico and where it has traveled. We have no idea how fast the swine flu can or will travel.

Reports from the government indicate that the flu is less deadly in places outside of Mexico, but we still do not know if this is true and if so why is it true? Possibly Americans have stronger immune systems or something, no one really knows. Also, may be it will be just as deadly but it is working slower than we thought. Americans have easy access to preventative drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza.

If you are sick, do not expose others, stay inside and cough or sneeze into a tissue and then throw it away. Wash your hands numerous times throughout your day.
