H1N1 Virus and the Elderly-10/09
This new term, H1N1 virus, is being used as the more correct term for swine flu. In fact, it is actually seen as combination of the swine flu, bird flu and human flu. It is not spread by eating pork or coming in contact with pigs, a misunderstanding that is completely off-base and one of the reasons for the name change. This virus is a new strain of flu that has recently been affecting all kinds of people. When it comes to the H1N1 virus, elderly people need to be extra cautious because there is no preventative drug at this time to keep you from catching the bug.
