Just yesterday the Swine Flu has reached phase 5 making it a pandemic. The swine flu is a type of influenza that originated from swine (pigs). Just in the US, there has been 109 cases of the flu. New York has 50 cases and Texas has 26. There has been one death in Texas of an infant. There have been 160 deaths in Mexico, the virus is believed to have spread to 2,498 people.
In my opinion, the government and state officials should have acted much sooner on this growing flu. By March 9, the first symptoms were showing up in the Mexico. If we would have realized how contagious this is, there would have been many more precautions made. With this rising flu, the only thing we can do is wash our hands and not shake hands with other people. we must be extremely careful about what we touch.
