Swiinee flu :S
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.[1] 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" is due to a new strain of influenza virus, one strain of avian influenza virus, and two separate strains of swine influenza virus. The oinfluenza A virus subtype H1N1 that derives by reassortment from one strain of human rigins of this new strain are unknow. This is scaryyyyy !!. i'm trying to really take good care of myself hoping it doesnt get spread around here or else they'd have to evacuate the place, shut everything down on quarantinee =/
