Swine Flu – Rhiza Labs
A month back, I wrote about Google maps influenza tracker following the H1N1 Swine Flu and its course across the world. With the continual focus on the spread of this virus, it was refreshing tonight to hear that Canada is treating the spread of the disease like it would any other seasonal flu outbreak, choosing to ignore the hoopla about the virus having crossed the primate barrier from pigs to humans. Maybe the Canadian’s know something we don’t, because they’ve decided to go the other direction and give their pigs the flu instead, as reported by CNN Health, with a farmer passing the flu to his heard of pigs. Cop that!
Rhizalabs has taken over the Google Maps official H1N1 Swine Flu tracker, with a more detailed and comprehensive breakdown of the location and stages of the virus.

the use of face masks and boosting your immune system by taking lots of vitamin-C is still an effective way of preventing the spread of the Swine Flu virus.
One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.
If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.
