IS THIS THE APOCALYPSE???

The world lives in fear because of the newest pandemic: swine flu …This flu gets transmitted from swine to swine, from swine to human and from human to human. In 2 weeks already over 1000 people have been infected and up to now around 8 people have died because of it.

In Mexico, pandemic level 5 (of 6) has already started. This means that almost every 10th person is infected and that’s why schools and other public places are closed. Events have been cancelled.

The symptoms of swine flu are:

a runny nose,
sore throat,
diarrhoea,
vomitting,
nausea,
coughing,
lethargy,
lack of appetite,
and fever

If you have most of the above symptoms over a short period of time, call a doctor. There is no medicine that can fight the virus completely. There are just 2 medicines that can block or weaken the virus. The low rate of death shows that you can survive the flu and develop anti- bodies against it.
