The swine flu basically came from pigs, and two months ago, it spread across Mexico City infecting thousands of the population. Symptoms from the strains were severe, and 150 people died a very cruel death. Mexican health officials were giving out masks to the people so the virus could not spread more than it had already. The Mexican government closed down the airport, as well as most of the restaurants and bars. The city was almost completely closed for more than three weeks. The Mexican government has added a lot of new regulations to many restaurants, cinemas, and many more other popular places. One of regulations stipulates that people cannot sit to close to one to an other. Another regulation is that people need to wear medical masks if they’re going outside. Due to this crisis, the country’s economy dropped a lot. To date, they have lost about 1.6 billion American dollars in revenue.
The recent Swine flu outbreak really tested Canada’s preparation this year. A few years back Canada wasn’t prepared when SARS struck the world. However the World Health Organization praised Canada, for being fully prepared this year for the swine flu virus. Only a few casualties have been reported in Canada. For example, in Alberta an elderly woman died. From what researchers believe to be the swine influenza.They have been conducting tests on the elderly woman, but no results have been given yet. The elderly woman isn’t the only person who got very sick, and needed to be hospitalizes. There was an Alberta school girl who became extremely sick from the swine influenza, but she is recovering well.
Mexico City has been in a massive crisis for the past two months, but they’re also recovering quickly. The swine flu has weakened, but many researchers say it might return in the fall becoming stronger than it is at the moment. They’re afraid that it could evolve into something like the Spanish flu of 1918.The Spanish flu was an extremely lethal virus. It could kill a person the same day he caught it. This influenza became very deadly because in World War I it spread from soldier to soldier, causing it to evolve after a while. All the stresses of the war made the soldiers weaker and more susceptible to the virus. Researchers at that time believed that the Spanish influenza originally came from China. For two years the deadly virus ravaged the world before it could go away. The total deaths the virus caused were between 50 to 100 million people, and millions more people were sick from it as well. The Spanish flu was the worst pandemic humans ever experienced in 1918 to 1920.
The many countries that have gotten infected with the Swine influenza seem to be recovering properly. Mexico City is recovered as well, due to the new health regulations the Mexican government implemented. When Canada found out Mexico City was became extremely infected with the Swine flu virus, they came fully prepared for its upcoming strike. Canada has a lot of people who have been infected by the Swine influenza, but accept two patients who died they all recovered from it. Let’s just hope the swine flu doesn’t become like the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, and that caused millions of people to die. I have been talking about the Swine influenza, and the many things about it in this article. It is unsettling to know that something very small can evolve into something extremely powerful and has the potential of wiping out countries, or even the world. This Swine virus could come back at any time in the fall. The virus is highly contagious from human to human, and spread through the air and by physical contact. After doing something or touching something before putting your hands near your face, clean them thoroughly, or use a hand sanitizer.
