Is Swine Flu Deadly or is There No Need to Worry?
The swine flu has been a very hot button topic now for a few months and rightfully so. The fear of a pandemic is stressing the minds of many and the question of will it worsen over the coming months is striking fear into the hearts of many. So we ask is swine flu deadly? Well let’s take a look at a bit of history. In 1918 the swine flu took the lives of 100 million people. That was less than a century ago and hopefully we’ve learned a thing or two since then. But still we wonder if we’re really prepared.
So currently in this day and age is swine flu deadly? Well let’s look at some analysis. Currently influenza activity is widespread in 37 states and the rest of the globe is seeing huge percent increases as well. Visits to the doctor’s office are rising, hospitalization for influenza type symptoms are terribly increasing compared to years past, and the influenza death rate has inclined as well. Analysis has been done on many cases of the flu and the swine flu virus has been the perpetrator. So is swine flu deadly? I would have to say the statistics are the proof.
