"Swine Flu"

H1N1 virus (swine flu) is a flu that at first people thought came from North American pigs but now we know that it has something very different from what is normally in pigs. It has 2 genes from the flu virus that is in pigs in Europe and bird genes and also human genes. Most people in the United States recovered from this disease without having medical treatment but there have still been those few unlucky cases. It is a contagious disease and will spread as easy as a common cold. The people at most risk for getting the swine flu are young children, elderly, pregnant women, and people with chronic illnesses. They now have a vaccine for N1H1 and it will be released to us very soon.
