An N95 or similar mask will filter viruses (H1N1 included) But its not the micron filtration size that needs to be focused on, its the proper fit of the mask. Leaks from improper fit and deep breaths will severely limit the effectiveness of simple filter masks. The other consideration is behavior while masked. Wiping the eyes, picking your teeth under the mask, etc.
H1N1 refers to a subtype of the influenza virus, not a bacteria. Influenza viruses can cause respiratory illness in humans and animals. It is important to note that viruses and bacteria are different types of microorganisms that can cause different types of infections.
The A and B in influenza are simply different types of influenza. * Type A: seasonal epidemics. This sub-type is based on changes in surface antigens hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. In humans subtypes H1-H3 and N1-N2 have circulated since 1918 pandemic (due to H1N1). In the last 3 decades the circulating types have been H3N2 and H1N1. * Type B: sporadic outbreaks (long term care facilities)
The tolerance of human swine influenza is higher and less serious in terms of danger to health than global warming. Global warming is the increase in the avergae temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Swine influenza affects a vast population of the humans and clearly does not have any relation to global warming as yet.
Influenza is caused exclusively by viruses in the Orthomyxoviridae family.Viruses are not true cells and are metabolically inert until they are attached or inside of a host cell of a plant or animal (including humans).
Swine influenza A (H1N1)
Seasonal flu vaccines carry an H1N1 component, an H3N2 strain and an influenza B strain. The H1N1 component is not the Novel H1N1 strain that is in the swine flu vaccine
It stands for Influenza A H1N1.
yep, influenza does not discriminate
Yes, it is the Influenza caused by the Type A H1N1/09 virus.
No, the pandemic A-H1N1/09 "swine flu" is just one of many Type A influenza strains. It is also one of many H1N1 flu subtypes. Besides Type A influenzas, there are also influenza Types B and C in humans.

Influenza A virus subtype H1N1
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.

NO!!!! penicillin, and all other anti-biotics are NOT affective against viruses, of which H1N1, and regular influenza are.
Yes. There is no longer a waiting period between when you get any influenza shot, including H1N1, and when you can give blood.
