- Some people use colloidal silver to prevent H1N1. It can destroy/kill certain germs by binding to and destroying proteins.
- Zanamivir (Relenza) and Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) can be used to treat swine flu (H1N1) when prescribed by a doctor.
- There is an approved vaccine (2009). 10,000 to 15,000 children and adults have gotten different manufacturers' brands of the H1N1 vaccine

This virus spreads about the same as the normal flu. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, they send tiny droplets of the virus everywhere. When someone else inhales the virus, it infects them. If a person touched a contaminated surface then touched their mouth or nose, the virus then works it's way into their system. Influenza viruses can survive on environmental surfaces for anywhere from 2-8 hours.

- Though injectable vaccines against the swine flu are available, the government ruled out all universal vaccination for now. They recommended that it be used only for those currently treating patients with the swine flu.
- Only within a lab can it be diagnosed for sure.
- The total fatalities that occurred from April 2009 to April 2010 was between 8,868 and 18,306. (US)
- Worldwide,there were only about 18,500 laboratory confirmed deaths, but estimates of all deaths are anywhere from 151,700 to 575,400.
- you can take vitamin C to boost the immune system. This is said to increase the number of white blood cells.

A new flu virus spread across the US and the world during the Spring of 2009. The first case of swine flu in the US was diagnosed on April 15, 2009. By June that year, about 18,000 cases of the swine flu (H1N1) had been reported in the US. An overall total of countries affected was 74.

This virus uses a chemical key to break into the cell. A welcoming structure then pulls the virus the rest of the way through the membrane and disperses. The virus capsule then bursts and the RNA starts to take a straight path to the nucleus. Once they are inside they are recognized, scanned, and copied. It soon takes over the nucleus and multiplies.

The influenza virus has a spherical structure. It is an enveloped virus. It has 8 RNA links, but it has 11 genes. It is an ssRNA virus, and is a class IV. The enzymes it uses to copy RNA/DNA is called RNA polymerase.

Diseases are often caused by viruses. Viruses are microscopic and infect living organisms. They are not considered living organisms. Unlike living cells, they hold a single or double strand of RNA or DNA which is surrounded by a protein shell or coating. They are unable to reproduce without a host and come in a variety of forms. These forms include: polyhedral, helical, spherical, and complex.
