Why Is Swine Flu Different To Ordinary Flu?
Thee is a very real possibility that swine flu could become a pandemic virus. Pandemic flu is differant to ordinary flu because it's a new flu virus that appears in humans and spreads very quickly from person to person worldwide. Because Swine Flu is a new virus, there are no current vaccinations against it, no one will have immunity to it and everyone could be at risk of catching it. This includes healthy adults as well as older people, young people, babies and those with existing medical conditions.
How Does Swine Flu Spread?
Flu viruses are made up of tiny paricles that cn be spread through the droplets that come from your nose and mouth when you sneeze. If you don't cover your mouth when you sneeze those droplets spread and others are at risk of breathing them in. If you don't use a tissue but rather cover your mouth with your hand these dropets can easily be spread to things that you touch and then to other people who touch them after you.
What Are The Symptoms Of Swine Flu?
Some of the symptoms of swine flu are the sudden onset of fever, cough or shortness of breath. Other symptoms can include headache, sore throat, tiredness, aching muscles, chills, sneezing, runny nose or loss of appitite.
