is it gone or what ? recent updates please ? as winter season coming soon. sorry its swine flu not the swine flue. my bad .
A flue is a duct, pipe, or chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, water heater, boiler, or generator to the outdoors.
Swine flu is definitely not gone. People are certainly still getting it including a president of a country and an actor from the U.K. who is very famous recently have had it. It's not going away anytime soon. However, so far,it hasn't been the horrible killer many expected it to be. They say it is only slightly worse than the regular flu. Of course, we will have to wait and see.
Where are you from? The degree of spread (prevalence) and death toll varies depending upon the country.
Well, they are still here in India ! Today, I read in the newspaper that "Sun Light could help beat swine flu"! - Digital -
exactly, it's something to take precautions about, but nothing to panic over. Here in So Cal there's been a number of cases recently
Several newspapers have reported that the World Health Organization has changed its advice regarding use of antivirals for swine flu. The advice suggests that while antivirals should always be given in serious cases, they may not always be necessary for otherwise healthy people. There has been another sharp fall in UK cases of swine flu, with an estimated 11,000 new infections in the past week, down from 25,000 the week before. This week has also seen a further 10 deaths related to swine flu in England. With five deaths in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland, the UK total is now 60.
A friend of mine told me that an entire high school in Alabama was closed for a week recently because of the Swine Flu. The school year just started too.
Yes, its a good point that one should not panic and take appropriate precautions. However, its more severe than a regular flu and has already taken many lives so we can't take it lightly.
