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 just diagnosed by my doctor today to have the regular flu virus after going through a big swine flu scare. I have researched swine flu a lot and have every symptom associated with it. Is the only difference in terms of actual illness how much more contageous swine flu is? Is swine flu actually worse to get than the regular flu or is it just overhyped? I read a newspaper artical today that said swine flu isnt actually as life threataning as the regular flu (not that I’m dying).
