I was watching the news, to hear that 68 people in Mexico died, 1,000 infected from a virus the world hasn't seen before, Swine Flu.
Thing is, there have been several pandemics of this swine flu before, the world has seen it before. It's another strain of influenza, only it's a mutation with other different strains of influenza mixed into it. I think they include: Human Influenza, Bird influenza, Swine influenza (obviously) and one other one. There have been three outbreaks of this virus before, one in 1918, it was an epidemic, one in 1976, in the US, one in 2007, in the Philippines, and now there is another one in Mexico. In 1976, they passed out vaccines for it, but they ended up killing more people than the swine flu itself, luckily, the virus seems to react to an over the counter flu medicine. It infects people every year.
