As swine flu or Mexican flu is on the rise in Thailand, I had this question. They say flu is most likely to spread in rainy or cold season, but that is not the case in Thailand. Why is it spreading so rapidly now?
Also, is everybody wearing masks there now?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between a cold and the swine flu? I went to the doctor the other day as I have been sick and he just gave me antibiotics. It makes me wonder, he didnt ask me is i had been travelling or do any tests. I am concerened about the swine flu!
