New Swine Flu Strain Infects Two Young Children

      New strain of the Swine Flu has been found in two children both under the age of five. A little girl from  Pennsylvania and a little boy from Indiana were both hospitalized with sever flu like symptoms. After running their lab tests they found Influenza A combined with another gene from the H1N1 virus. Both of these children had been in contact with swine weeks prior to the hospital visits. They have both made a full recovery.

      Obviously we need to make it to where the public can no longer come in contact with swine. They keep bringing terrible viruses to our communities that in the past have been deadly to some. We need to find some way to maybe test all pigs for these viruses and eliminate the risk of spreading it to people. You would think with all the technology in the world now days they would have already come up with something like this. It would save our country lots of money not having to pay for expensive vaccinations for these viruses if they are caught early on in the pigs.
