According to World Health Org. the swine flu us a combination of human, avian (bird) and swine flu.
The virulence is because it attacks the strong and not the weak victim and it is THE REACTION to the virus that causes death rather than the virus itself.

lol. I talked to somebody that had it (well texted) and they said the normal flu was worse.
(I'm in the school district in Texas that closed its schools down for the week)
but, I read that it also has soar throats and vomiting and diarria
any sign of the flu go to the doctor. this virus may be mutating and it can get worse. We started out with 2 kids now we have 15 people in the area with it.
We don't know when or if it will be as bad as it is in Mexico, while we are in the US and have better healthcare, we cannot rely on shots, all we can do is old fashioned things like closing things down and advicing people who show signs of it at all not to go out.
A lot of things are being closed down and they're iding at some places to kick students out, it sucks!

The symptoms are very similar but more severe. It is a mixture of pig, bird and human influenza, which is why are bodies do not have a natural immunity to it. It seems that the numbers showing for infected are small because they either don't know they have it or haven't reported that they think they have it. I believe my entire family caught it (one of my sister's has a boyfriend from mexico and he goes around a lot of places where new people are). I went to the doctor last week but it wasn't a concern yet and wasn't tested. But now my nephew's doctor had my sis make an emergency appointment because my sis called her bout him (he is still sick). From the looks of things, its going to get much worse and cases are going to be pouring in.

Well it isn't a worldwide pandemic yet, certainly is in Mexico. 2 people in the UK have it, and are being treated. I believe it is worse than normal flu because it attacks the system a lot more. I am sure wikipedia will have it...
It seems that not much is known about it yet. It is a rare virus & not much research has been put into it... so a lot of information is unknown...

Because we have no immunity to this virus - it is a brand new virus. It will take about 6 months to develop a vaccine.
Because we have no immunity to this virus, it will hit us harder than a regular flu - causing some people to die. I have heard that only 1 in 500 will actually die from it - pretty good odds!
Hope this helps...

originally, pigs got it, so we dont hav a cure or a vaccine or anything. you can die from swine flu. i think theyve had the the most cases in new york with about eight. but mexico was hit the worst and had over 100 deaths. they hav an article on wikipedia about the outbreak, so u can look there.

as I heard from my teacher, if old people and newborns catch it, they can easily die because they are weaker. But like adults and kids from 10-20 are able to live through it and might be cured quicker. It's dangerous but it's not like the influenza during World War 1 where millions and millions of people died. Like around 20 million. But since we don't have the medicine for it you should be careful.

Appearently it can spread, and we have yet to find a cure, or vaccine or something. I guess that since its not caused by bacteria there can be no vaccine developed to fight this specific strain.

The symptoms are the same as a regular flu.
The only thing different is the swine flu mostly effects people who are young and healthy. that's the the only difference

Swine flue is different because you can die from getting the swine flue
