Mexican Swine Flu Virus updates

It was April 29, 2009. I read about this on National Geographics daily news. It was level 4 then and according to them it started on Mexico. Officials in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak, said eight people were confirmed dead while 91 infected people were healthy. They said the suspected death toll from the disease was 84, about half the previous number.

The symptoms also mirror those of seasonal flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue.

It was not yet confirmed that the virus outbreak to other countries since US became its host of epidemia after few weeks. Since then W.H.O (World Health Organization) raise the alarm to level 5 when a case related to this cause a life in US jurisdiction.

For now, health organization reminded all to be cautious. wearing a flu mask is a must.
