Swine+FluAD10

Swine flu is a type A influenza virus present in pigs. Human infection is usually uncommon except among people who work and live closely with pigs. It has been spreading rapidly throughout the people in Mexico, and now into America too. So, should the Obama administration require us to get vaccinated? I believe so because although President Obama said it is a cause for concern, but not alarm, I think it is a little more than that because the most lethal flu pandemic of the past century was also caused by a swine flu strain. One billion people are thought to have gotten "Spanish flu" in 1918-19, around 50 million of them were killed, although the death toll could have been much higher. It is something we can not afford to take a chance on. The number of people it has reached in North America is now at 40. And counting. The sympotms are about the same as a normal human flu virus, but can be worse for some people.
