A(H1N1) flu
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:25 pm
Whether you've read the headlines or delved into the news, you know that swine flu is a big issue right now. A few hours ago it was renamed the A(H1N1) flu (used to be called the swine flu) to keep people from believing that eating pork and pork products causes swine flu.
Fact is, health professionals can't predict what might happen, whether the swine flu outbreaks will get worse or whether they'll blow over. Best thing to do is to not panic but get yourself educated with accurate info so you know what you're really facing and what you need to get prepared. Check the WHO website as well as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) site for information. I list a couple of FAQs below.
