Mexican Flu has officially reached my lovely country! Oh happy day! >_>
A 3 year old child was tested and Mexican Flu has been confirmed by lab testing.
In the mean time, the Mexican Flu is suspected to have spread to over 40 countries all over the globe.
Current statistics:
Infected: 4092
Deaths: 177
W.H.O HAS RAISED THE THREAT LEVEL TO 5.
There have been confirmed cases in Spain where the Swine flu has been passed on from human to human. In response to this the World Health Organization has raised the threat level to level 5 of 6.
:
Level 5: The same identified virus has caused sustained community level outbreaks in two or more countries in one WHO region. A pandemic is imminent.

- At this time the risk of airborne transmission of the virus is unknown. Most current cases are suspected to have been from physical contact only (as with normal flu, sneezing on someone, kissing, ect).
- There is no risk of getting the Mexican Flu from eating pork.
Also on a more humorous note: Egypt is not taking any chances and is having every single pig in the country killed.
