The swine flu

The United States declared a "public health emergency" OVER THE SWINE FLU.

It is really spreading very fast because I've learnt about it only a few days ago, and as of today we already have 1600 people affected and 103 deaths.

This virus is everywhwere, it apparently started in Mexico, but it has been found now in the United states, New Zealand, Scotland and Canada.

The disease usually affect pigs, but it has been discovered that now it is contracted from human to human, it is a combination of pig, human and avian flu viruses..

The US is already taking steps to contain this new virus by dispersing stockpiles of antiviral drugs. They are also watching for travelers who were in Mexico that seem sick or coughing crazy.

What really made me talk about this today is that yesterday officials of my state Ohio, discovered that a young boy was carying the virus, so as as of today that's the only case here.

Wow this is really scary Ya'll.
