this flu is caused by pigs so dont eat a lot of pork and bacon or any other meat that comes from pigs
the disease was created in a pig but eating pork has nothing to do with it. the pig itself can't infect u if u eat pork or bacon. |

I hope your not trying to be serious, that is the reason they changed the name from Swine Flu to N1H1 Flu, so that no one would be confused and stop eating foods made with pig. The virus is spread by ways such as stepping in pig feces (supposedly how the virus started spreading around) and it DOESN'T spread by eating pork, bacon, or any other food containing pig. |
| oh |
for drakelord:
no. Porc can be eaten as usual. the virus gets "killed" (viruses aren't living beeings but you know what i mean) by temperatures over 70 degres celsius.
so it's no problem. see, that's why the WHO wanted to change the name first, because people get confused... |
i thought it was spred mainly by pigs egiptians are going to kill pigs and ban pork
my mistake |
| well in india they killed 300,000 pigs but they didn't know that the virus gets "killed" by temperatures over 70 degres celsius. |
| it's a shame what hysteria can cause people to do... |
| it can make people do bad thing and stupid things |
| Did you guys notice that every animal get its own epidemic from time to time? ...sometimes we are killing milions of chicken, sometimes cows with suspicion on BSE, now its a pig turn.. |
| next is horse i think |

A Mexican tourist visiting Hong Kong has become Asia's first confirmed swine flu case, authorities said Friday, as they quarantined about 300 people at a hotel where he stayed and began searching for those he may have contacted.
With memories of 2003's deadly SARS outbreak still fresh, officials ordered the weeklong quarantine and treatment of 200 guests and 100 staff at the Metropark Hotel. The 25-year-old man was isolated at a hospital and was in stable condition Friday.
Health workers wearing full body suits wiped the tables, floor and windows of one of the hotel rooms as guests in other rooms waved to photographers. It wasn't immediately clear if the room was where the patient stayed.
Police officers wearing gloves and masks guarded the building. And later Friday, more than 20 people wearing masks walked out of the hotel and into ambulances and were taken away. Their condition wasn't immediately clear. |
The swine flu virus that has frightened the world is beginning to look a little less ominous. New York City officials reported Friday that the swine flu still has not spread beyond a few schools. In Mexico, very few relatives of flu victims seem to have caught the virus.
One flu expert says there's no reason to believe the new virus is a more serious strain than seasonal flu. And a federal health official said the new flu virus doesn't appear to have genes that made the 1918 pandemic flu strain so deadly.
It's too soon to draw any definitive conclusions about what this variation of the H1N1 virus will do. Experts say the only wise course is to prepare for the worst. But in a world that's been rattled by the specter of a global pandemic, glimmers of hope are welcome.
President Obama noted Friday that it's not clear that the swine flu outbreak will turn out to be any worse than ordinary flu. |

i hope not |

Even if the outbreak is the same as the ordinary flu, then it's pretty bad. The ordinary flu travels around the world and literally infects half the world population every year.
Side note: Most people don't even realize they are infected by the ordinary flu every eyar. |
