conspiracy theorists claim that these are created by bio-terrorists in the aim to DEPOPULATE the world in 2012.

i don't buy it. it's the most ridiculous thing in the entire effin milky way galaxy.

hahaha basin gani naay mga bio-terrorists nga nag himo og VIRUS pareha sa "I am Legend"... good bye human race...

[chad_tukes]

it doesn't make sense. if they're gonna create a bio-weapon, they would have created a virus deadlier than this. why create a "mild" virus when your aim is to destroy human race? diba?

ok, so let's say their aim is to destroy the US gov't. why start in MEXICO?

but then again, that's their opinion so they're entitled to that. i'm just saying it doesn't make sense to me.

nka bantay mo nga pila lang ka months after the ebola reston virus... nga only in the pinas lang den sa baboy lang makita... ang baboy mang gud mao rman ang "handy vessel" for mutation like bacteria, virus and parasites... malay nato gitest diay to dha... hehehe

d bya na lalim pag conjugate of atleast 2 species into one new species bisan pa same genus lang... bisan pa kung gituyo pagmerge pero mas malabo kung by nature lang ang pagmerge sa duha ka species becoming into one new specie... so para nko dako jud kau ang purohan nga syndicated jud ni para mka kwarta siempre...

naa ra mam, sa no. 7.. it's an advisory from CDC.. sakto man sad to nga best jud ang medicine within 48hrs period pero wla sad sila mi-ingon nga if after 48hrs na ka mo take sa tambal wla na effect....

The importance of early treatment is that the NA protein inhibition is more effective within the first 48 hours. If the virus has replicated and infected many cells the effectiveness of this medication will be severely diminished, especially over time.



4. Can people be infected with Swine Flu from eating pork?
No. Swine flu viruses are not transmitted by food. Eating properly cooked food is safe.
5. How does Swine Flu spread?
The virus can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and from people to pigs. Human infection with flu viruses from pigs are most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected pigs, such as in pig barns and livestock exhibits housing pigs at fairs. Human-to-human transmission of swine flu can also occur. This is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people, which is mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
6. How can human infections with Swine Flu be diagnosed?
To diagnose Swine flu, are respiratory specimen such as sputum would generally need to be collected within the first 4-5 days of illness. Test is however not available in the Philippines.
7. Are there any medications against Swine Flu?
Yes. Only Tamiflu and Relenza are effective against Swine Flu and must be given early, within 4-5 days of illness.
8. Is the H1N1 Swine Flu virus the same as human H1N1 virus?
No. They are of different morphology but getting vaccinated against human influenza virus can decrease the probability of the illness progressing to a more severe form if you get infected.
9. Is there a vaccine for Swine Flu?
Vaccines are available to be given to pigs to prevent swine influenza.
10. How do I protect myself from Swine Flu?
Always maintain proper personal hygiene, wash hands at all times. Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing. Get vaccinated annually against human influenza.

Ayaw i-copy paste, hatagi ko sa link. I want to see that "WITHIN 4-5 days of illness" sa CDC website mismo. Wala man nako na makit-i when I checked the website. Ako na hinuon wala kasabot sa however? hahaha! Ka klaro sa imong gihatag nga link nga ang na mention ra didto nga 5 days kay duration. Tan-aw dictionary didto kaw, sabta unsay meaning sa duration. LOL
