Everybody's scared of the new influenza scattering and infecting people around the Globe right now.Its really scary because its all over the news everyday.They said it started in Mexico and now its roaming around LA.I don't really know about this Flu but many people died already.Its getting worst now.On the recent news it said it had already reached Australia and New Zealand. People were also infected then became sick. Can anyone tell me what really started the Flu and how is it acquired?Is it airborne?or through water?Some reports also claim that you will be infected when you eat pork/meat.What really is real?Do you think the terrorist or people who wants power and control over us did this?Or the end is really coming? Please air out what you want to say and answer those bothering questions of mine.

I think the reason that it is worrying the scientists is that it is a new type of flu - a combination or swine, bird and human flu. Because it is new, they are worried about how it might evolve, at the moment it isn't any more serious than normal flu, but it could change into something more serious as it goes on, or it could fizzle out completely. It is airborne, and so you catch it the same way as ordinary flu - not from eating meat or drinking water. As it is at the moment it really isn't so scary.
