I heard something about a swine flu on yahoo. I noticed in the pictures people kept wearing masks. I read the news but I still don't know what it is! Where is it infecting the most now?

It is possible that Swine Flu was a virus created by man and that it either escaped the facility that created it, or was deliberately released by some country to experiment with biological weapons.
The US said that they had proof that SARS was linked to China and their biological release on the public in Taiwan as punishment for Taiwan breaking away from China.
The chance that its Swine Flue is man-made is 95% because:
1. It appeared suddenly this month.
2. It is a genetic mix of swine-bird-human
3. It is spreading on a non-flu time of the year
4. It is spreading rapidly, more so than regular flu

Rabb488 is correct. The first diagnose of the swine flu was in 1976 but returned again in 2007 and now stronger than before in 2009.
Related to the vaccine, there has been inconsistent responses to it. The current vaccines are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza), that's why it is said that the flu is susceptible but not guarantee to cure it.

The Flu Jab will not protect you from this strain. The current vaccine for swine flu (the human strain) will not cure it either. The current outbreak is of a new genetic strain of H1N1. The new strain is resistant to the two oldest vaccines for swine flu amantadine and rimantadine, but susceptible to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).
So this could be a biggie! And if it spreads to europe and east asia then we could have a epidemic on our hands.
It's been found in NYC and there are fears it's already reached London.
There is no cures for viruses!
All it takes is one person to infact 100s
One person coughs passes it onto 2 other people they both sneeze/cough they each pass it onto another 2 people. in 10 mins you'll have 50+ infected.

The most current info says it's a combination of human, swine and bird flu and that doctors are able to test for the strain. I'm grateful it only took 81 people to die before Mexico publicized this to the world. It took 25,000 Americans to die of AIDS before we publicly acknowledged it.

The epicenter was Mexico, where the virus is blamed for 86 deaths and an estimated 1,400 cases in the country since April 13. Schools were closed, church services canceled and Mexican President Felipe Calderon assumed new powers to isolate people infected with the swine flu virus.
