Swine flu is an influenza A virus which is the type of virus that has had the most devastating effects on human beings. This strain of H1N1 flu is the same virus that was responsible for the Spanish Flu Pandemic which caused 50 million to 100 million deaths around the world from 1918 to 1919. So it's obvious why various health agencies have been on watch for Avian flu (H5N1) for the past decade or so. Swine flu is only a name, as the virus contains DNA from avian, swine, and human viruses.
PORK IS UNRELATED TO THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS, IT CAN NOW BE TRANSMITTED HUMAN-TO-HUMAN AND THE PRECAUTIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE MUST TAKE THESE FACTS INTO CONSIDERATION! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM REUTERS:
PORK IS UNRELATED TO THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS, IT CAN NOW BE TRANSMITTED HUMAN-TO-HUMAN AND THE PRECAUTIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE MUST TAKE THESE FACTS INTO CONSIDERATION! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM REUTERS:
"It likely originated in pigs, but the Mexican government and the World Health Organisation have ruled out any risk of infection from eating pork."
So far there have been 20 to 81 people who have died in Mexico from the virus as well as 20 cases (non-fatal) in the US, 9 in Canada, as well as the possibility of infection in Spain, France, and New Zealand. Wherever you are, the potential that this deadly virus may affect your life is very high. PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
This strain of the flu is a new strain, so the seasonal flu vaccine WILL NOT protect against it. It may take months after the flu has spread until there is a reliable vaccine.
