Swine Flu a Pandemic

11 Jun, 2009

I had forgotten about Swine Flu, or H1N1, but this influenza continues to flurish. Every day there are more and more confirmed cases of Swine Flu around the world. Check the map below for an up-to-date illustration of how many confirmed and suspected cases of Swine Flu exist around the world.
