Swine Flu Outbreak



With more and more cases of the H1N1 influenza being identified, precautionary measures have been taken throughout the globe. As we are all aware - perhaps due to the media overblowing the whole matter - the Swine Flu originated in Mexico, where tourists picked up the virus and transported it to other places worldwide. In an extreme attempt to find a solution, a tourist was quarantined in China for simply holding a Mexican passport [source]. Discrimination what?

I didn't introduce the Swine Flu for no reason. So today was the first day of classes for the summer semester. Our prof was lecturing with a mild headache. He later denied that he had the flu but revealed that he had a runny nose a few days ago. Do you know where I'm going with this? But that's not all! He then told us that he just came back from a trip to Mexico! Wow. Just amazing. You'd think with all this attention we are getting with the Swine Flu that people who are even close to having flu-like symptioms should not go to work! Luckily for us, the flu season is just about coming to an end. This will buy us some time and allow research to be done in attempts to find a cure.

  4. Say what? o____O That prof is unbelievable. Swine flu is a very popular disease right now, and I think that prof isn't much that concern to his students.>___>

    Yup, I agree with you, maybe scientists can find a cure in no time :)
