Dr. Mary Young of Georgetown University Medical Center explains how the H1N1 influenza virus differs from the common influenza and dispels the myth that it can be contracted from consuming pork.
Acute viral infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract. Influenza viruses A (the most common), B, and C produce similar symptoms, but infection with or vaccination against one does not give immunity against the others. Chills, fatigue, and muscle aches begin abruptly. The temperature soon reaches 3840 °C (101104 °F). Head, muscle, abdominal, and joint aches may be accompanied by sore throat. Recovery starts in three to four days, and respiratory symptoms become more prominent. Bed rest, high fluid intake, and aspirin or other antifever drugs are standard treatment. Influenza A tends to occur in wavelike annual pandemics. Mortality is usually low, but in rare outbreaks (seeinfluenza epidemic of 191819) it reaches immense proportions. Most deaths result from pneumonia or bronchitis.
It is a real shame that I have found this video only now. First of all I must say that it is perfect. All symptoms and causes of Swine Flu are explained in a so detailed way that everybody can easily understand it. Moreover I have discovered few things that I didn't actually know about this virus. It is really dangerous and there is no matter whether it is created by American labs or it's caused by natural factors. The most important thing is that we must be careful and try to avoid this virus as hard as we can.
Unfortunately my friend's uncle had this virus few weeks ago. It was hard to find out that it is actually a swine flu because symptoms were very similar to stomach flu . However this video will really help you to know this virus better and spot it faster. Thanks one more time for posting this video here and not being careless about this horrible disaster. Let's hope that it will leave us soon (You can see that now this massive shock about swine flu became more passive).Good luck to everyone fighting with this virus and please be careful.
The factor is that the most dangerous sciences and medicine are
shaking hands with the devil. The pandemic attacks by special groups that think
survival for the fittest have been playing this game along time.
Now note that the medical & chemical corps have total information before the attacks
even have a place name. theses are dangerous peoples. which will lead to the fall of
America. some what like the commonwealth club another group with a agenda.
This so called Swine Flu is created in lab by USA order. To make people sick, and by creating poison, they call it vacsine from Swine Flu, to make people more weaker, to change DNR and make our childrens "fat and happy". So nobody will stand when they will come and do whatever they want.
Influenza A H1N1 for me is not a serious threat unlike dengue. Why? because it's just a matter of practicing good hygiene in its truest sense of the word. Anyhow, prevention is still better than be sorry. At the first sign of the illness, immediately seek medical help. incontinence
