The outbreak of the 2009 swine flu epidemic is classified as a sign of a new influenza strain H1N1 influenza virus. It was identified in April 2009 and is today regarded as a hotbed of Phase 5 It is officially a level below a pandemic.
We are not sure of the exact origin of the epidemic, but was first discovered when the Mexican authorities and departments in the United States of a possible correlation between the occurrence of cases of late flu season, Mexico and flu cases in Texas and California. In a few days, hundreds of other suspected cases have been reported in Mexico. There were several issues that appear in the U.S. and many other countries.
On 30 April 2009, governments around the world begins to act quickly to limit the possibility of a pandemic.The World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) United States, has been very concerned about the flu epidemic, fear that this will be a global pandemic of influenza

Most over 65 years. H1N1 virus has been detected in pigs in Canada, but the virus is destroyed by normal cooking. So you can eat pork products cooked
The first case of swine flu was discovered in California and Mexico as the first report, but the discovery of Mexico was not far behind him.
The murder was the first against swine flu 13.04 when a woman from Oaxaca, who was also diabetic died of respiratory complications after catching flu virus.
There is no vaccine for swine flu, but there are antiviral medications such as Tamiflu and Relenza
Swine flu symptoms are similar to ordinary flu, cough, fever, runny nose and sore throat, headache and muscle aches. However, some patients what they have done differently than usual that the flu has also suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. About 40% of hypertensive patients have shown that these symptoms. The incubation period for swine flu (which is the time between infection and symptoms) is between 2 and 7 days.
