Health officials are worried that the H1N1 "swine" flu may come in a more deadly form. In an interview with London’s Financial Times, head of the World Health Organization Dr. Margaret Chan warned that the H1N1 swine flu virus could return in the fall in yet another mutated form that is far more dangerous that what is presenting today.
According to WHO, there are 985 cases of H1N1 infection in more than 20 countries in a matter or weeks, while there are 286 confirmed cases of swine flu in 36 states in the United States. Despite the outbreak, both the U.S. and Mexican health officials expressed confidence that the disease is spreading slowly.
The strain of swine flu that has affected several people across the globe has a combination of genetic building blocks coming from pigs, humans, and birds. It is theorized that the virus mutated in pigs that may have been exposed to an avian version of the flu, before mutating into its present form. Disease experts are especially concerned that the virus’ ability to mutate could eventually see it combine with human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS.
Health experts warn that such result would be a devastating global health challenge similar to the 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak that has infected more than 500 million people, or about 5/8 of all people on the planet, and killed more than 50 million. The death toll has dwarfed the deaths during both World Wars I and II combined.
In the face of such possibility, Dr. Chan told in the interview that, in the face of that potential threat, the WHO’s actions were not an overreaction. Although the virus did not infect high numbers of people at first, the disease could be back in a few months or so, this time in a more deadly form.

I love how it is clear that you took a ton of time and effort in research. I never enjoy it when I study blogs that are 500 words long but are poor in content. It’s like they just want to wind you in and they are not really providing something compelling. So thank you!
Thanks for your posting. One other thing is the fact individual states in the United states of america have their own laws that will affect home owners, which makes it very difficult for the the nation’s lawmakers to come up with a whole new set of recommendations concerning foreclosures on householders. The problem is that a state has own laws which may have impact in an adverse manner on the subject of foreclosure procedures.
