Swine flu

H1N1 or Swine flu is a virus that is usually found in swine. Everyone is exposed to it but different people have different immunity to it. Symptoms for the swine flu are similar to the occasional flu such as high fever, cough, sore throat, headache, chills, muscle aches, diarrhea, and vomiting. Most people who become infected will recover without any treatment. Doctors can prescribe different antiviral drugs to help treat the symptoms. America's count of swine flu cases have risen to 21,444 and the numbers of deaths have risen to 87. This is a really serious problem and many people need to take steps to end this virus.
