Is swine flu a boar….?
Well, I do sometimes get tired of watching the news talk about the swine flu, but it’s always in the back of my head, like how everyone else treats the swine flu media coverage. Everyone’s always thinking about it. The thing about the 2009 swine flu is that it’s a mix of avian, swine, and human flu virus. This means that it can infect birds, pigs, and humans. This is frighting, first of all, because it can infect more hosts and currently, no one has any immunity to it and a vaccine is projected to be 6 months away. Don’t forget the shipment of all the vaccines and antivirals. The world can only produce about 400 million vaccines a year as it takes some time to make. Bird migrate and fly all over the globe, pigs are raised on farms and have close contact with humans and humans contact other humans. New York, on of the more concentrated cities, has the highest level of swine flu infections in the US. The important thing to remember is to practice good hygiene and protect your face from g
Close the Mexican borders to keep the majority of infected contained, treat them locally. Find infected all over the world, treat them in quarantine. Make sure that between the few escaped infected and the infected in Mexico, no one will be able to catch it anymore and… voilà! Pandemic averted. How effing hard is that, WHO? I’m worried about it, though, because I’m one of the people who would be at risk with a normal flu as well; I’m pregnant and even though my immune system doesn’t suffer from it, if I have a flu, my baby will. And the fact that every authority in the world is so half-ar§ed about the situation and threatens my life, the life of millions of other pregnant women, babies, children and older people… it just pisses me off. I’m fed up hearing about it too; in fact I’m fed up hearing how people who should be able to rule entire organisations, can’t even solve something as simple as this. I’m not murderous, but it makes me want to kill.
