H1N1 experience

The Centers for Disease Control has announced that none of the early cases of H1N1 Swine Flu in Southern California and Texas has had any contact with pigs. They have confirmed that the virus has been spread human to human although several of the victims have had no contact with other human showing signs of the virus.

The Swine Flu strain A/H1N1 Virus appears to be spread in the same way as the seasonal flu virus is spread.
It's possible that this Swine Flu virus has been around but only identified now because of lab testing improvements and changes made to the way surveillance on diseases is done.
Take steps to reduce the risk of spreading the H1N1 Swine Flu virus and to avoid becoming ill yourself.
