There are many cases of H1N1 that have been reoccuring in small local communitites in the southern states of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Georgia has the most lab confirmed cases out all of the states and there has been 190 patients hospitilized bewtween the dates of Februrary 24 and March 15. Most cases are invloving adults who have chronic health issues. There is an estimaed 60 million Americans who have had the swine flu but the number is decreases due to better treatment and virus control for this health issue. The reason of why these cases of swine flue are unknown currently and the main doctor said she is concerned about the supply of vaccines for the common folk because all of the vaccines will be given to those who have diabetes, heart issue, or are pregnant.
I believe that there is only so much we can do with who illiness. Doctors are working long hours and putting alot of effort into finding vaccines that will cure this disease properly. I think there are ways to prevent illnesss' tho by getting a good amount of sleep everynight, eating the right foods, and washing your hands as much as possible will all help your body fight the virus. This is a virus that has killed many of our fellow citizens and we should try our hardest to stop it from killing anymore people.
