What comes to your mind when we talk about S.A.R.S, Bird Flu and Mad Cow Diesease. Swine Flu ofcoure! Swine Flu is a respiratory diesese inffecting pigs caused by type A influenza virus. Swine flu causes high levels of illness and low deaths rates.The classical swine flu virus was first isolated from a pig in 1930.Swine flu do not normally inffect humans.However, human inffection has occured.The symtoms of swine flu are fever, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sour throat, vormitting and diarrhea.People cannot catch swine flu from eating pork.Cooking pork at 160 degrees F will kill the swine flu virus.Swine flu spreads by alot of ways, pigs to pigs then pigs to human then human to human the human to nation and then nation to nation!!!And if this goes on the whole world will be infected.It can also spread by coughing and sneezing.The virus started in Mexico causing more than 80 deaths.Singapore must be happy that so far there there no cases.In my school school for some weeks we took our temparature once inthe morning and once after recess.This small thing can mean alot so always be safe.
