A H1N1 Virus
A few weeks ago the world opened the eyes for a new dangerous tipe of virus causing panic and terror in world habitants, first they said that it was pig flu, but later the name change but not the consecuences of the virus, causing deads all over the world. Here is a special report. Take care of you.
influenza A (H1N1)virus is an epidemic of a new strain of influenza virus that was clinically identified in April 2009, and is commonly referred to as swine flu. It is currently a Phase 5 outbreak, one level below an official pandemic.
Although the exact origin of the outbreak is unknown, it was first detected when officials in Mexico and the United States suspected a link between an outbreak of late-season flu cases in Mexico and cases of influenza in Texas and California. Within days, hundreds more suspected cases were discovered in Mexico, with more cases also showing up in the U.S. and several other countries.
By late April, officials from the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO), based in Switzerland, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S., were expressing serious concern about the flu outbreak, worried that it might become a worldwide flu pandemic. As a result, WHO raised its alert level to "Phase 5" out of 6 possible, which it defines as a "signal that a pandemic is imminent".
By the end of April 2009, governments across the world had taken emergency measures to slow the transmission of a possible pandemic. At the same time, however, many scientists were reaching a consensus that the "epidemic" which until May 6 has had fewer than 31 deaths confirmed worldwide, was so far relatively "extremely mild" and believed that it could be less fatal than previous pandemics.

Spread of this H1N1 virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
