Swine Flu – Update on the H1N1 Virus
The swine flu or H1N1 virus is causing a pandemic emergency in the United Kingdom and many other countries around the world.
Already more than 1,000 people around the world got killed by the virus according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
In the United Kingdom 30 people died and this figure is going to grow. But is this flu really so scary? Most experts say that the H1N1 virus is not so aggressive as we think. It can be compared to a normal seasonal flu, nothing more. The different thing is that it spreads more easily and very fast.
The US announced that the forecast is to have more than 40% of workforce in bed by January 2010, thanks to the virus. This will create a big damage to the already weak and ill economy in the United States. But what about here in the UK? Estimates are not more gentle.
