    With the way people react to these kind of things u can't really tell for sure if it's the truth. I've either heard that it started by a pig in Mexico getting sick and got to the United States. How'd it get to the United States if it was in Mexico? Anyways, the other rumor is that a person from Mexico had the virus and flew into the states carrying it with them. I hear people saying that there isn't a cure for it and that there is and everything hectic on the subject.

    do a little research on swine flu... its not as big of a deal as the media is making it. it has been considered a mild flu... just as a regular flu... if you get it, take care of it... if you don't take care of it you could get hospitalized and even die. Check out www.cdc.gov and google it.

    Somewhere, just a bit ago, I found that only 2 people have died in the US from this. But only a total of 46 deaths in the ENTIRE world have occurred. 44 were in Mexico.

    Hope I helped at least a little.

    Well it started out as the normal flu virus then somebody who had it mixed it with the pigs virus and then it became the swine flu so everyone thinks its very scary but its like the same as normal flu but you get just get it again this time plus Obama makes it sounds worse than it is
