If, after the news of the day, more and more people from other parts of the world are infected by the virus or swine influenza A H1N1. The swine flu spreads to other countries in terms of people from one country to another. How dangerous? Can be controlled? We try to find out.

Novel influenza A (H1N1) virus, or better known as swine flu, is a new form of the virus from pigs in 2009 came in April, the first identified a.This virus is to infect humans and spread from person to person. It is recommended in the spread of a pandemic situation and scale of all, take all necessary health and sanitation. 23 May 2009, there are already 86 people reported dead from 12,022 cases of H1N1 influenza virus. In the U.S. alone, there are 9 victims of 6552 cases.

This result is very worrying. As far as we know it today? It is believed thatthis virus is spreading in the same way that distribute a normal seasonal influenza viruses. To say that is spread through sneezing and coughing of the sick with the virus. We are not sure how hard the outbreak in the form of disease and death today. Since this is considered a new virus, scientists and doctors believe that most people have no immunity to it. Sad to say, the vaccine for this disease has yet to be discovered. There are, however, the current Anti-VirusDoctors can prescribe medicines for an alternative, and seems as good.

The good news is that the United States of America, a diagnostic test kit was developed for this new H1N1 virus and is now spread Rico, all states in the United States and District of Columbia and Puerto. Fortunately, this kit is shipped internationally.

What can we do to avoid always infected? Well, until today. Stay away from crowded places ifTo avoid possible and in close contact with people coughing and sneezing problem.

Stay healthy and do regular exercise and healthy food. Cover nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then throw the tissue in the garbage after use. Wash your hands often with soap and water. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth, because germs spread quickly. Stay home when you are sick.

In my observation, the new influenza virus is dangerous, and easy to infect agreat potential to lead to an outbreak, but it is manageable, and there is a high percentage of reported recovery rates. At present there is no reason to panic and fear. We should not be nervous our day and we treat them as normal. We just need a larger amount of extra cautious and aware of what is happening in our environment.
