SWINE FLU Information

All your questions can probably be answered by

And also CDC + Wikipedia. Read up on immunology and viral infection. Then you stop caring... until the next influenza wave this fall, which may come with a new mutated killer virus.

What is interesting about the virus is that it contains genetic material it have picked up from jumping from multiple species, which also tells that it is an effective zoonos virus that spreads easily from lifeform to lifeforms, and since it have spread to at least two other lifeforms (pigs and birds) the likelyhood it will mutate again is quite high.


P.S. oh, and stop reading/listening the mainstream media. They are at least 1-2 days behind the WHO reports and blow everything out of proportion with their "news" coverage and lack of knowledge in immunology.

Thank you, Ichinin!

Dont thank me, thank the makers of the TV show "House MD" that made me interested in the stuff
