Are you going to get Swine Flu?
I don't know. 3 in 10 people will get the disease in the UK, so I have a 30% chance of getting it.
How do you keep from getting the flu?
Handwashing is the best way to kill germs that cause illness. The water should be very warm and soap should be used for at least 30 seconds.
How Swine Flu attack human beings?
The so-called "swine flu", more correctly called an H1N1 Flu, causes influenza in humans. The H1N1 flu seems to severely affect more people between the ages of 4 and 30, and fewer of the over-60 group, than does the seasonal flu. It also seems to come less often with a fever, and perhaps to last a bit longer. But basically it is influenza.

How to Recognize Swine Flu Symptoms?
In 2009, the swine flu pandemic had people in a panic with the uncertainty of their health. Scientists scrambled to quickly come up with an effective vaccine to combat the virus. The swine flu turned out to be milder than previous pandemics, but today's flu vaccine covers both seasonal and swine flu. 2011 has reports of two people infected with swine flu, though both were in contact with pigs shortly before contracting the virus. The contraction of swine flu is rare, but can be spread from pigs to humans, or humans to pigs. Swine flu symptoms do not appear much differently than seasonal flu symptoms at first. These include high fever, cough, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, body aches, chills, and fatigue. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that swine flu symptoms may vary slightly from seasonal flu. For instance, in the 2009 outbreak, Mexico reported that 30% of cases showed no fever, and Chile reported 50% of their cases had no fever. Most consider fever as a tell-tale sign of illness, and its absence could lead people to wait to go to the doctor for treatment. Pay attention to the symptoms. Swine flu can have severe symptoms like extreme fatigue or malaise. Vomiting and diarrhea is also more common in swine flu. If you show these symptoms, it is time for a visit to the doctor. Swine flu can be more serious than the seasonal flu because it is more likely to cause complications like pneumonia and respiratory problems. A rapid flu test can show whether the influenza A virus, or swine flu, is present. Antiviral drugs recommended by the CDC for treatment of influenza A virus are Oseltamivir or Zanamivir. Swine flu symptoms usually start to disappear within one to two weeks as long as complications do not arise. The elderly and those with chronic health problems such as asthma or heart problems could experience worsening of symptoms related to those conditions. It is important to take immediate action if you suspect you have swine flu. Take steps to prevent seasonal and swine flu with the vaccine or visit your doctor for more information on preventative measures.
How old are those who die quicker from Swine Flu?
Most of the deaths from Swine Flu have been among those between ages 30 and 50 with underlying chronic medical problems. In addition there have been deaths in children 5 and under. Interestingly, the age group of 65 and older, who are at highest risk for severe complications or death from seasonal flu, are among the least likely to get Swine Flu. It is believed that some time in their lives they were exposed to a virus that was similar enough to H1N1/09 that they have some cross-over immunity.
Will old people be protected from Swine Flu if they have the normal flu vaccine?
UpdateFor the 2010-2011 flu season in the USYes, the vaccine for H1N1/09 "swine flu" is included as one of the three vaccines in the "regular" flu shot, so anyone who takes their flu vaccination this flu season will be protected from swine flu.For the 2009-2010 flu season in the USNo, the regular seasonal flu vaccines are not effective for the new Novel H1N1 Swine Flu. However, it is interesting, and not exactly known why yet, to note that the elderly have been much less susceptible to the virus than with seasonal flu viruses.With seasonal flu, those 65 and older compose the majority of the fatality demographics, but with swine flu the ages of those dying from the virus are in the 30 - 50 year old group.There is speculation that there may be some residual immunity in those of the older age group, who are normally killed by influenza, from the earlier vaccines used for other strains of swine flu in the early to mid 20th century.The Novel H1N1 flu is more fatal to those in the middle ages groups, especially those with underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or other chronic lung or cardiac diseases. Other risk groups are the immuno-suppressed (HIV/AIDS, transplant, leukemia patients), and pregnant women.
Is there any pregnant woman that have had swine flu yet?
Yes there is. Here in Sweden we have a woman just under 30 who has been in a artificial lung for months now.
