Swine Flu Outbreak--40 Cases Reported and Triggers Worldwide Action as Health Emergency
On 23rd April, 2009 the world population was being aware to a very strange and new version of flu named as Swine Flu. 7 cases reported by CDC that only located in Mexico within Texas and California. From that day; the figure is raised continually until now. The recent figure on 27th April, 2009; given by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and world health organization (WHO) declared total 40 confirmed cases of Swine Flu in different states.
This emerging health threat is declared as a “Public Health Emergency” in the United States. Swine Flu is caused by Swine Influenza A Virus. This is the virus that pigs normally get but people can also do get it as evident in recent cases.
This virus is highly contagious and spreads from one infected people to another. Swine Influenza A Viruses produce similar symptoms in infected individuals like normal flu and include fatigue, lethargy, cough, fever, chills, body aches, headache and sore throat. They may become severe in extreme cases.
Swine Flu is a pandemic with no applicable vaccine available right now, reported by CDC. Individual to individual transmission of Swine Flu Virus occurs in the same way as seasonal flu spreads in community. This transmission mostly occurs through sneezing and coughing of infected individual and touching of something that is contaminated with Swine Flu Virus.
As it is said that prevention is better than cure, in cases of viral infection it’s most reliable. Preventive measures are better than curative measures in this regard. WHO gives some preventive measures that are helpful to prevent healthy individual to become a victim of Swine Flu Virus. Avoid close contact to infected individuals, wash hands with soap and water thoroughly, use properly cooked pork food, properly cover mouth and nose with face masks if you are outside the home or in closed vicinity of infected individual, practice good health and eating habits like adequate sleep, eating of nutritious food to support overall health and also keep yourself physically active.
