✌🏻️Background✌🏻

H1N1 flu is also known as swine flu. It's called swine flu because in the past, the people who caught it had direct contact with pigs. That changed several years ago, when a new virus emerged that spread among people who hadn't been near pigs.

Question

1. Vaccine was invented, Pigs died.
2. The virus has mutated, or evolved. The number of pigs suddenly decreased and began to increase again.

3. The number of pigs may differ. The time when the vaccine invented might differ between other countries]]> 2017-05-22 03:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gshin/j1zlsmfp4yt0/wish/173050088 Seasonal Flu https://padlet.com/gshin/j1zlsmfp4yt0/wish/173050090 Stella and Jessica

1. In H1N1, in 25-July, there was a sudden increase in the data presented. The data is also more specific compared to Seasonal Flu as the range bewteen the gaps of time is more narrow. In the graph of Seasonal Flu, there are more peaks(sudden increases) compared to H1N1, and the gap is an year. The reason might be because H1N1 is included in the topic of Seasonal Flu. 
2. In Seasonal Flu, the cycle of the start of one peak to the other is 1 year. In H1N1, there is only one peak.

The disease caused burns and bubbles all over the skin. If people caught the plague they would be visited by a 'healer' who would wear a large mask with a beak like shape that they would fill with flowers and nice smells, as they believed that the disease was spread through bad air. Some people resulted believed that it was god trying to wipe out the human race, saying they deserved punishment. This caused people to walk down the streets wiping themselves with straw or even horse wips!

Signs and Symptoms of Flu

People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:

*It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.


How Flu Spreads

Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or possibly their nose.

Period of Contagiousness

You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.

Onset of Symptoms

The time from when a person is exposed to flu virus to when symptoms begin is about 1 to 4 days, with an average of about 2 days.

Peak Month of Flu Activity 1982-1983 through 2015-2016

It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year.
👍🏻The upcoming season's flu vaccine will protect against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the season. This includes an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus, and one or two influenza B viruses, depending on the flu vaccine.
✌The effects of flu
Fever,headache,stomache,cough

Flu is a respiratory infection caused by a number of viruses. The viruses pass through the air and enter your body through your nose or mouth. Between 5% and 20% of people in the U.S. get the flu each year. The flu can be serious or even deadly for elderly people, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses.

Symptoms of the flu come on suddenly and are worse than those of the common cold. They may include

  • Body or muscle aches
  • Chills 
  • Cough 
  • Fever 
  • Headache 
  • Sore throat 
Is it a cold or the flu? Colds rarely cause a fever or headaches. Flu almost never causes an upset stomach.

Most people with the flu recover on their own without medical care. People with mild cases of the flu should stay home and avoid contact with others, except to get medical care. If you get the flu, your health care provider may prescribe medicine to help your body fight the infection and lessen symptoms.
