Hey Everyone,
We have all heard the news, Australia and New Zealand have both got rising numbers of swine flu cases. As it increasing, so does the new coverage.
There was ‘the quiet period’ where the term “swine flu” wasn’t used during a one week period. This was the point where the virus had lost its hype in Mexico, and other countries cases were very limited. Now however, much of the news is taken up by swine flu.
Not everyone here watches the new I understand. I’m sure everyone has their own way of finding ou what’s happening in the world. If you have just come out of a hole, the world is on the brink of a pandemic. The new disease, the “swine flu”, is a strain of influenza (Swine A/H1N1). It has very similar symptoms to influenza A, but is LESS potent. The reason the world is in panic is due to the fact that this disease is MUCH more virulent than the regular flu, this means it spreads much easier.
