-Different varations of the virus exist, and they are able to swap genes to become different variations. so a vaccination would be ineffective, cause soon as you had a cure, then there'd be a different varation out. -Panic doesn't do anything but blow things out of purportion -If you are not in an area where it has broken out, chill. You can only get it if your up close and personal with pigs, which 80% of you arent. -if you are in an area where it has broken out, it can travel between people. -fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Good morning. I am adressing you today, with one concept to be shared overall. Panic, does nothing but blow things out poportion and scare people out of their minds. With that in mind, let's dive into the facts, shall we? As of april 28th, there are 50 cases in all of swine flu in the united states, in Kansas, New York, calafornia, Ohio, and Texas. No deaths have been reported. There are two affective treatments, Oselamivir and zanamivir, which weaken the virus. In 1976, there was a similar outbreak, only killing one, while infecting 500, without causing them to fall ill. The president suggested everyone get vaccinated. The vaccine killed and seriously injured hundreds of americans. These are different vaccines, but again, the risk is still there. In conclusion, I would suggest getting the vaccine only if you are in the states where the minor breakouts have occured. If you live outside, and haven't been in contact with anyone in the effected states, and outside countries, then really it isn't nessasary. There is no cause for alarm.
