The H1N1 strain, which is also called the swine flu, is a mixture of swine, human, and avian flu viruses. No deaths have occurred outside Mexico from this new flu strain, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed 40 cases in the US, 6 in Canada, and 1 in spain. There are even possible cases of swine flu in Israel and New Zealand. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono instructed authorities to take immediate measures, halting imports of pork and expanding the bitd flu pandemic preparedness program already in place to prevent swine flu.
I myself had never heard of the swinfe flu. The swine flu is a new type of flu and it caused a huge panic just liek the bird flu. The swine flu is really dangerous and if it enters our country, then a huge problem will rise. I think the government should so whatever it takes to prevent another flu like the bird flu from entering Indonesia.
Questions:
1. What could the government do to prevent swine flu from happening?
2. What effects does the swine flu have on everyone? From farmer to government?
