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.

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
Just wasting some in between class time on Digg and I found your post . Not normally what I like to learn about, but it was absolutely worth my time. Thanks.
Hey, I think your very on focus with this, I won’t say I agree with you completely , but its not really that big of a deal .
I couldn’t resist commenting.
@Marco I know what your mean. In todays economy its tough to find a job that pays well and is consistent. I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the poster of this article, they are clearly a hard worker and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
Thanks for sharing. Share is caring after all.

I cheated on my husband and I regret it. My secret boyfriend has hiv. And my worry about getting infected was answered after I got a package from the online store home-bio-test. I tested myself with oraquick oral hiv test and it was positive. I made a mistake once and I don’t want to make another one by transmitting hiv to my husband. I always ask my husband to use condom everytime we have sex for pregnancy reasons, citing side effects from the pill, but he hates that. I hear that once my viral load is undetectable, sex without a condom will again be safe. But it is hard to tell him the truth. I just don’t wanna ruin our marriage. Is there any way to have normal sexual life without infecting my husband hiv?
