Pig Flu = Swine influenza(Swine Flu aka SIV) is a respiratory which infects pigs. This virus is a mix of human, pig and bird strain.
It is not clear how it infects humans but most probably through direct contact with a pig or human to human. Apparently the symptons a person infected would have starts from like a normal flu, then have his temperature soon shot to 39c, with muscles so painful they were almost paralyzed. Soon to follow by extremly painful headaches and eventually vomiting and diarrhoea.
Currently it has infected people in Mexico and have already killed at least 20 people and thousands more could be infected. The World Health Organization called an emergency meeting in Switzerland today whether to declare an international public health emergency. Reports also suggested that the same virus struck at least 8 people in Texas and Calafornia.
No vaccine specificially protects against swine flu, and it is unclear how much protection current humanflu vaccine might offer.
Lord Help Us All!
