The World Health Organization or WHO considered already the Swine Flu A(H1N1) as pandemic. It means the new strain of the virus has been spreading through the communities in the world.

The whine flu virus that has been spreading since April 2009 is identified already in 74 countries and there are almost 30,000 cases around the world and took 141 lives already.

In the Philippines, there are 92 confirmed cases already. Swine flu A cases in the Philippines is only mild but the number of cases will keep increasing if we’re not vigilant against it. What we need to do is to maintain proper hygeine, increase resistance of our immune system, and take distance from any people. So far, the swine flu cases in the Philippines did not result to death.
