Around the world Health officials are working to contain what seems to be a growing outbreak of swine flu. In Mexico City where this all started one out of every five persons wore masks to protect themselves against the virus.
Mexico seems to be the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak. It is thought that around 103 deaths have already been caused and many more are expected. An additional 1,614 reported cases have been reported in the country.
So far, however, only 18 of the deaths in Mexico have been confirmed by laboratory tests to be from swine flu and reported to the World Health Organization as such.
The United States stepped up preparations for a possible epidemic of the virus after 20 cases were confirmed there, and Canada announced its first cases of the virus Sunday -- six mild cases.
Swine flu or swine influenza is a contagious respiratory disease that normally only pigs are affected by. It is caused by a type-A influenza virus. You can expect year round outbreaks in pigs. The current strain is a new variation of an H1N1 virus, which is a mix of human and animal versions.

An intersting fact about swine flu. When the flu spreads person-to-person, instead of from animals to humans, it can continue to mutate, making it harder to treat or fight off because people have no natural immunity.
ReplyDeleteIt is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Hepatitis, HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
