http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/ health-news/swine-flu-virus-related-to-1918-pandemic-1744792 .html Swine flu penetrates deeper into the lungs and can inflict more damage than ordinary seasonal flu, scientists have found. The discovery could explain why the virus is able to cause severe illness in people with no underlying health problems. Experts also believe swine flu is closely related to strains responsible for the 1918 pandemic which killed up to 40 million people worldwide. Evidence suggests that people born after 1920 have little natural resistance to the virus Pretty scary stuff indeed, or is that what they want us to think. Shaking hands |
