bastardman Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Swine influenza (also swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by any strain of the influenza virus endemic in pigs (swine). Strains endemic in swine are called swine influenza virus (SIV)Of the three genera of human flu, two are endemic also in swine: Influenzavirus A is common and Influenzavirus C is rare.Influenzavirus B has not been reported in swine. Within Influenzavirus A and Influenzavirus C, the strains endemic to swine and humans are largely distinct.Swine flu is common in swine in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, China, Japan, Taiwan, and other parts of eastern Asia.Swine flu is rare in humans. People who work with swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine influenza if the swine carry a strain able to infect humans. However, these strains infrequently circulate between humans as SIV rarely mutates into a form able to pass easily from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.The 2009 flu outbreak in humans that is widely known as "swine flu" technically is not swine flu. It is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that derives from one strain of human influenza, one strain of avian influenza, and two separate strains of swine influenza. The origins of this new strain are unknown, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in swine.It passes with apparent ease from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. The strain in most cases causes only mild symptoms and the infected person makes a full recovery without requiring medical attention and without the use of antiviral medicines.Tl;dr: A flu which is a mutated form of normal flu, which makes it more lethal than normal flu. Also, don't let the media scare you.Copy pasta a la Wikipedia (Swine Flu)Symptoms is a fever above 100 Quote Link to comment
Deluvas Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The swine flu has been intentionally spread to deceive us from the upcoming changes of the world, or as pretext to some really nasty things. Also, those masks that specialists say it will protect you from swine flu, don't do shit. (i researched this) It's all about money. Except vaccines that will make people MORE ill. We all know this virus is MAN MADE ! Also, i know about the other pandemics. Now those were deadly ! Quote Link to comment

Chikennugget1 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Holy shit I have volvic water at home >< and by the way,you,in other countries ,do you have a degree alert?We are on 5/6 on the pandemic alert.If there are infecteds,then every school,every bus,train,air lines will be closed(that would cool,I will play a lot more zs ).I don't want to be killed by a f***ing virus but basically,it's a flu so you can be healed but it's strange that there are some deaths Quote Link to comment

If you're strong enough, you have a better chance of surviving.Also, in Mexico they don't have as good medical care as us here in more developed countries. I am not saying that they are primitive, it's just that a lot of people can't afford medical attention there.Try not to let the media scare you either. They're ranting on about respirators and shit. Just wash your hands, and stay away from pigs. Respirators are useless, since when you breathe inside of them, moisture builds up and more bacteria can thrive in it. Quote Link to comment
