The outbreak which began in Mexico has quickly swept throughout the world, with confirmed or suspected cases reported in 8 U.S. states (California, Texas, Kansas, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and New Jersey), Canada, Spain, France, New Zealand, Israel, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and the United Kingdom by Monday.The CDC is urging Americans to prepare for the possibility of severe swine flu outbreaks and even deaths, despite the mildness of U.S. outbreaks to date. While the swine flu is suspected of infecting almost 2,000 and causing 149 deaths in Mexico, all 48 people with swine flu in the U.S. so far have or are recovering.
Do you know what to do if swine flu ravages your community?
Know the Signs of Swine Flu A/H1N1
Know the symptoms of swine flu so you can identify potential infection: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Diarrhea, vomiting, pneumonia and respiratory failure are also possible.
People experiencing flu symptoms who think they might have contracted swine flu should contact their doctors from their homes for advice. The doctor may prescribe antivirals (Tamiflu (ages 1 and older) or Relenza (ages 5 and older for prevention, 7 and older for treatment)) which can potentially make the flu less intense and of shorter duration. Other antivirals are ineffective against swine flu. Unless the symptoms indicate an emergency, use of a hospital is not recommended.
