SWINE FLU SPREADING AT UN BELIEVABLE RATE


SWINEFLU SPREADING
AT UN BELIEVABLE RATE

Swine flu spreads four times faster than other viruses and 40 percent of fatalities are young adults in good health. The virus travels at an unbelievable, almost unheard of speed. World Health organization director said.
In six weeks it travels the same distance that other virus take six months to cover. Sixty percent of the death covers. Those who have underlying health problems. 40 percent of the fatalities concern young adults in good health.
WHO underlined that emergency and health care services in several countries had come under strain and stressed that resources allocated for cancer patients and those suffering from heart disease should not be diverted.
More that 2,180 people around the world have died from the virus since it emerged in April 2009, according to the latest WHO figure. The WHO chief also said it could be months before sufficient vaccines were available to combat the pandemic. Britain and France, received their first batches of swine flu vaccine the week.
