Swine Flu

[] Current Events: *Last Sunday in Mexico it was pronounced that there were 106 deaths caused by the flu, and over 1,600 cases of it.
 * Canada established six people, including some students who went to Mexico for Spring break, having symptoms of the Swine flu.
 * The most cases are in Mexico and it is not known why it is mild throughout other areas.

[] Facts: *Swine Flu is a respiratory disease of pigs.
 * Symptoms include fever, disorientation, stiffness of the joints, vomiting, and loss of consciousness ending in death.
 * The disease has mainly been passed through people that have been in contact with pigs, but now there is person to person transmission of the disease.

[] History: *In the 1976 outbreak a man that was in an army recruit was feeling weak and tired. He died the next day, and four of his fellow soldiers were hospitalized. Then two weeks later it was pronounced as Swine Flu. I would personally get vaccinated because just in case the flu became something big, it would be good to have. I do also think the Obama Administration should take action, because if numbers dont start dropping, then things may be getting worse and they need to be prevented. Taking action would be better than ignoring something thats important.

SPEECH. I do reccommend everyone to get vaccinated for the swine influenza. I say this for the following reasons. There has been a past of it, even though many didnt die. Now it is more serious than before. There has been 106 deaths pronounced. Besides that there was 1,600 cases established. There could be a possiblity the flu will increase, but so far there is nothing so severe. But to be ready for the worst, and prepared i advise all citizens of the United States to get vaccinated. I would rather be prepared and take action, rather than it be too late if something were to happen. Thank you, and i hope the vaccination is considered for all.
