In late March of 2009, a new strain of Swine Influenza A (H1N1) virus appeared in and around Mexico City, Mexico. Since then, the virus has spread to many different parts of the world, including the United States. It is known as swine flu because the virus originated in pigs, although it has now mutated and is capable of human to human transmission. The world is responding to this new strain by activating numerous pandemic flu plans designed to address just such a threat. At this time, it is important not to panic, but to take the same basic precautions that one would take to avoid getting the common seasonal flu.

Personally, I can not help wondering if this "outbreak" is some sort of plot to trigger mass population innoculation like the "swine flu innoculation" in the 70s. I had never been sick with flu nor a virus prior to taking that innoculation. After being ill for close to a month. I swore to myself to NEVER volunteer to take another public service recommended shot. I also do not believe in the HPV shot for girls nor boys. There is NOTHING that can protect ANYONE from a ragedy lifestyle.
