No, it became a world wide disease (pandemic) which was spreading quickly around the globe from person to person regardless of where they were. It may have even actually started in the US rather than in Mexico which is where it was first identified. It is under better control with vaccines now. The H1N1/09 virus (aka Swine Flu) is just a new type of highly contagious flu that was created by mutation of prior forms of the H1N1 influenza virus.

What is the symtem of swine flu?

Swine flu is a new outbreak of flu that started in pigs, then mutated and jumped over to humans. It is just like a normal flu, but some people are dying from it. In my opinion, it's not that bad. It has only killed people from Mexico and some third-world countries. Honestly, the only reason people are making a big deal is because it's new. I know the bird flu scared lots of people too, and that's a big part of this whole fuss.
