Swine Flu Outbreak Makes It’s Way to New York

With a large Swine Flu outbreak in Mexico, more then a thousand People have fallen ill, an a Total of 81 People have died. Director of the CDC, Richard Basser has raised Concerns over how quickly the Virus has spread an fears it might be to late, to stop it, from spreading across America. His fears are well founded. The last time America suffered a similar epidemic, was in 1918. The cause ended up being a bird flu Virus, that mutated, and caused bird to Human transmission of the virus, an then Human to Human, through the Air. This was a Dark time in Humanities life, an estimated 600 thousand Americans died an Worldwide the number of casualties was between 50 an 100 Million.

The Swine Flu Virus mutated, an is now infecting Humans, it is an air borne strain of the virus, and like most Viruses it is constantly mutating as it infects People an picks up there genetic data. The impact of the Swine influenza Virus has hit Mexico hard, schools an businesses have been closed, public events have been canceled. All in the attempt to stop the viruses spread which is Human to Human contact.

Swine influenza virus (SIV) Orthomyxviruses

In America there has been 11 confirmed cases of Swine Flu in California, Texas and Kansas. Over 100 high school students in New York Queens District recently have fallen ill, with unexplained fever, sore throats and, aches an pains. They are all from St. Francis Preparatory School, were some Students just return from a trip to Mexico. Workers have been sanitizing the School all this week as a precaution. But it did not stop or hold up a Class Reunion, which went on as planed among the fears of catching this Virus.

The CDC is concerned, Humans have no immunity against a combination of Swine, Bird, or the Human flu Viruses. As this Virus Mutates an picks up new genetic information, it grows stronger an more resisted to Our medications. Although all cases in America have been mild, a simple mutation of the Virus can cause it to become deadly as whats going on in Mexico right now. The common flu shot will not protect You from this virus, the only known drugs to fight the Swine Flu are amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir. The Swine Flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the infection an illness, although some people, mostly children, can be contagious for up to ten days.

Once the infection starts it is almost impossible to stop it’s spread. In this day an age Travel has created a vector for viruses being spread. An infected person could go on vacation an unknowingly infect many others. By simply going to an airport an getting on a plane, it could cause a major countries population to become infected in a very short period of time. We also have to be worried about a mutation of the virus, as more an more People are infected, the virus will mutate to bypass there healthy immune systems, causing a more variant strain of the virus, that maybe resistant to all are drugs.

As the World watches Mexico’s Swine Flu Epidemic. We only get whats reported in Our media. Undoubtly many cases an deaths in Mexico will go unreported. Lets face it Mexico is a poor country at war with rich drug cartels, not many People can afford to go to a doctor there. With a 1,000 documented infections of the Swine flu one can only imagine how it has an, will spread. It will infect the working class population first of the country, it will then be spread to there families an, then there friends, then to unsuspecting tourists, Who will then carry it aboard air planes an to air ports, where it can literally spread all accross the World. This has already started, How bad it will be, is not yet determined.

The Swine flu is reminiscent to the 10 plagues of Exodus, “Sick Animals”. If are Animals are sick, and We rely on them for food an daily goods. It’s not to long before We also become sick. What is really frightening, after the Animals became sick in Exodus, so to did the People. But it was no flu it was boils an skin lesions. You may call it an epidemic a flu or a virus, but back before We had those words, it was called a Plague and was an act of God.  In today’s world God is further an further from the Peoples minds then ever. God has told Us, at the end, there will be great suffering, an 7 Great plagues, that would consume mankind. Time will only tell if the Swine Flu Epidemic is one of the 7 plagues of God foretold to are ancestors hundreds of years ago.
