Swine Flu
Apr 30th
I’m a bit insulated from what is going on with politics and news (other than tech news). Swine flu is somethig I came across yesterday, although it is something running across news channels since a week i think. It was only before yesterday I knew nothing about Swine flu. After watching the news I did some research. These are the things I learnt new.
1. Swine is for Pigs and Flu stands for influenza. Now explained how it spreads to humans.
2. Symptomps: fever, sore throat, muscle pains (I have right now), severe headache, coughing, weakness (I have right now) and general discomfort (I have right now, due to slow internet though).
3. Highly contagious.
4. CDC stands for Center of disease control and google trends is ahead of it in tracking disease outbreak. (:P)
5. Google maps show flu mapped across the world. link
6. The plague of 1918-19, which took 500,000 American lives and 20 million worldwide.
7. Avoid it by taking a lot of vitamin-C, get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system and Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.
