The Swine Flu
By Ailunhh614
The swine flu is also known as the Pig Flu originally came from pigs in 1918. In 1918, a farmer in United States caught the swine flu. It was really deadly then when we didnt have any medications. Right now, since we do have medications, it is treated like we treat the regular flu we had for a very long time.
The swine flu in America has cause the total of four deaths. Those deaths were cause in Texas 2, Washington 1, and Arizona 1. The average age of people dying from the swine flu in the world is 17. People are just wondering why it is the age 17! This is because that the age 17 is the most strongest and healthiest age we will have as humans. This is a mystery to medical doctors, swine flu experts, and scientists. We are all trying to figure out why but we have very little clues and no answers yet.
