No, only approximately 0.4% of the people who get Swine Flu (Novel H1N1) die from it according to the World Health Organization statistics. And most of those had an underlying medical condition that made them at higher risk of catching and succumbing to the disease. In a given community, it also seems to be only around 6% of the population who contract the virus when it is moving human to human in the area.
the swine flu will end this summer
AnswerSwine flu will never end as it will return in another form. Swine flu will just get less powerful.Another answerWhenever God wants it to stop.
By the time that the World Health Organization declared the end of the pandemic, all states in the US and all countries of the world have had cases of swine flu.The following states have not had any confirmed cases of the Swine Flu:1. West Virginia2. Alaska
in my experience no you might feel groggy when you come to the end of having the flu but shouldn't have much problems after
yes it might end if we all take precaution and the government make some arrangement.
Because many of the symptoms are similar and the flu will have left your body weaker than before, it is likely that you will end up with a cold.
No, some people do not have fever with the H1N1/09 swine flu, although it is a common symptom. See the related question for more information about the symptoms of A-H1N1/09 Pandemic swine flu.
The swine flu is no longer a pandemic. Outbreaks are still occurring in some places of the world. It really didn't involve only the flu "season" but also was spreading in spring and summer, not typically times for the flu. At present (spring 2011), the northern hemisphere is in the flu season which is usually defined as the period from October until April in the northern areas. One of the types of flu that was anticipated and that has been active during this flu season is the H1N1/09 Swine Flu. That is why this year's flu season vaccine incorporated the swine flu vaccine as one of the three in the seasonal trivalent flu vaccination for 2010-2011's flu season. Ohio is included in this flu season of October to April, so since it is currently mid March 2011, the flu season will be over in Ohio in a few weeks. However, just because the season is over, does not mean you can not still get the flu, especially since we know that the swine flu began in spring 2009. Most people do not get a flu vaccination after the end of March, however, since the time to become immune from the response to the vaccine is longer than the season usually lasts from that point. There is still some risk, so some doctors continue to give the vaccine through the end of March. It is important to get the seasonal flu vaccination each year in the early fall in the Northern Hemisphere to prevent the flu.
H1n1 can only be cured only if all the doctors of the should meet at one place and invent a vaccine for H1N1
Nobody knows yet. The outbreak is less than one month old, scientists are working hard to find out as much as they can about it.
In the US in the 2010-2011 flu season: The seasonal flu shot will include the vaccine for H1N1/09, so you won't need a separate shot for the swine flu this year, and you will get all the protection in one vaccination.In the 2009-2010 flu season:It doesn't matter which shot you get first, as far as being protected from both the seasonal flu and the swine flu is concerned, as long as you do get both types of vaccinations. The two vaccines can not be mixed in one shot. You can take both shots on the same day. As of the end of October, 2009 in the US, there is plenty of seasonal flu vaccine available, while the swine flu vaccine is still being reserved for those at highest risk until the production of the vaccine catches up with the demand. You should not wait to get the seasonal flu vaccine until the swine flu vaccine is available to your risk group in your location for best protection against the seasonal flu. Go ahead and get the seasonal flu shot as soon as you can, and then get the H1N1 (swine flu) shot as soon as it is available to you, too.The nasal mist vaccinations for the two types of flu can not be given at the same time. Live 2009 H1N1 vaccine (the type used in the nasal sprays) can be administered at the same visit as any other live or inactivated vaccine EXCEPT seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine.
As it turned out, the swine flu was extremely virulent and spread rapidly, but was not as severe an illness in symptomology for most people, as was originally feared since it was a brand new virus to which it was thought no one would have immunity. So, the end result was that it was an illness with a severity more similar to regular flu than worse as was feared but still very easily transmitted from person to person. See the related question below for more information about the differences in these types of flu.
