Tackling the swine flue pandemic

SWINE flu, technically known as H1N1, started earlier this year in Mexico, migrated northwards into the USA and Canada and then crossed both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. It has since touched the shores of Australia, Africa and China and wrought havoc among their respective populations. WHO has reported that at least 2,185 persons have already died. Hundreds of thousands of others are still suffering from this virus.
