Recent studies state that H1N1 virus other known as the swine flu is more common in children and young adults due to the school environment. During the school year it is easy for viruses and many different forms of bacteria to be passed from student to student. More recent research has stated that swine flu can be more vital to children 4 and under along with children who have neurodevelopmental conditions. One main concern that I have is the amount of deaths that the swine flu causes not only to our youth but to our elderly as well. The swine flu epidemic is a serious matter but can be easily prevented through simple clean habits. Also keeping a closer eye on our youth and elderly when symptoms seem to occur would be a good way of jumping on the ball before it gets away.
