Article #1 [|"WHO Raises Its Pandemic Alert Level on Swine Flu"] The Facts: This disease is spreading on a global scale quickly and has hit 73 people world wide as of April 27 at 7:00 excluding the thousands of Mexico cases. The Opinion: It's too late to quarantine the disease to contain it. It has spread to far around the globe to contain and destroy, but medications and vaccines should help stop a major epidemic (an outbreak of disease on a very large scale).

Article #2: [|"Swine Influenza"] The Cold, Hard Truth: This disease is closely related to the flu. Much of the symptoms are the same, except they are on a larger scale. Because of this it is quite difficult to detect in humans and your recent history must be used to tell the difference between swine flu and regular flu. Preventing the spread of swine flu is not much different than preventing regular flu. Vaccinating is probably the best way to protect yourself, next to the constant use of hand sanitizer.

Article #3: [|"Swine Flu, 1976"] The Past: In the fall of 1976, President Gerald Ford ordered the entire nation to get vaccinated for swine flu. He acted because experts said that a soldier had died of a disease similar to the one that had caused the 1918 epidemic. It wasn't the disease and many people became quite upset when they found out.
