"Swine flu may be more infectious than we thought"


It is a worrying situation that we are not prepared to face it. The Scientifics are trying to find a vacuum, but the searching is turned more difficult. The illness is getting more transmissible, the Scientist`s Community is really concerned about it.
Fortunately, in Chile are not anybody with flu-like symptoms, but it’s impossible to think that we are save, because of the globalization, every single day arrives to Chile people from all the world. So, the authorities have to be aware to face this imminent pandemic.
The people, who is infected with this illness, is being told to stay at home to avoid infecting other people, because if the flu spreads, it will become more severe. In Mexico, the Swine Flu has killed 42 people and it has 1,112 confirmed cases. The lasts 5 cases were found in Argentina and Brazil.
Some ones think that the end of the world is closer; others think it’s just a new illness, like the Influenzavirus A (Bird Flu) and we are going to face it like the other sicknesses. I hope, as human beings as we are, we can overcome this terrible situation.

Well, all that we can do is to be relaxed and take care of ourselves and the people we love.

Just be aware what is happening in our country, because there were already found out the first two cases in Chile of Swine Flu.

Take care and good luck, bye.
