What is swine flu and what should I do?

Like people, pigs can get flu, but swine flu viruses aren’t the same as human flu viruses.
Swine flu doesn’t infect people often but there were rare cases of infected humans but all had close contact with pigs. But the current swine flu is different. It is caused by a new kind of swine flu and it is passed from person to person. The symptoms are the same as normal flu.
If you have the swine flu stay at home and if you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth. After that wash or disinfect your hands, this can help stop your flu from spreading. If you got flu symptoms and you have been in a risky area like Mexico, call a doctor immediately. Or if you where not in a risky country and you are still sick call a doctor just to be sure.
