In early 2009, the world was shaken by the news of a new influenza virus that was spreading around Mexico and slaughtering some of those infected. First dubbed 'swine flu' by the media, the H1N1 flu pathogen has been spreading fast across all 5 continents in the time of this writing. The H1N1 influenza pathogen has received much media attention as it is highly contagious.
It may also cause death in high risk groups like children, pregnant ladies, the elderly and those subjected to medical infirmities like diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, obesity and other medical issues. The deaths aren't from the pathogen itself but the H1N1 pathogen can increase present medical problems and often cause other issues like pneumonia, leading to death. One more reason the H1N1 influenza is much feared is usually because scientists have revealed that this new strain of H1N1 pathogen is quite unstable and may mutate to become even more stronger and dangerous. Gurus are monitoring the progress of the pathogen and report in late July that so far the pathogen isn't mutating to something more deadly.
