t2w9 pork flu

H1N1 is swine flu which is infectious. It is spread by big ,ugly,fat and hairy pigs!Countries are taking of temperature which is useful because they can detect if any one is infected.I think scientist are trying a vacine to prevent swine flu.Oh yeah and please wash your hands before eating.Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the blood. The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly cooked. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of catching swine flu. In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, this allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then, fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded, Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.
The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza

Hi Teng Jun,
One other comment. Please do not use 'Pork Flu'. This is inaccurate.
