People Are Going Crazy Over This.... Swine Flu

I don't know what is getting to these people to make them act so crazy......wait yeah I do....its the swine flu that got them acting like this. The swine flu a.k.a. H1N1 is no different from the regular/general flu.First let me break it down to what the swine flu is, it's a respiratory disease common among pigs that is caused by type A influenza viruses. It basically has the same symptoms which are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headaches, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.The only difference I would say is that the swine flu originated in pigs, who catches the flu then in turn the humans catches it too. The only thing is that the pigs cannot catch the human flu.

One thing people are trippin' about is that they think they can get the flu from food.Humans cannot get the virus from eating pork; pork products; handling of uncooked pork; or consuming fruits and vegetablesjust the same as any other flu or illness, the swine flu is not a food-born illness.There have been 27 deaths from it and 2 being from the U.S. and the other 25 in Mexico. There are plenty of ways of preventing the fl which are wash your hands, cover when you cough, don't touch your face alot, and stay away from people who are sick....duuhhh. So peple ther is no reason for the face masks, just keep kool, it will pass over soon.
