The most recent information is that the World Health Organization has declared a global pandemic due to the H1N1 influenza virus, commonly known as Swine Flu. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and include fever, coughing, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, headache, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes conjunctivitis. It can also cause pneumonia in some cases. People at higher risk for complications are those over 65 years old, children under five, pregnant women, people with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease, and people who have weakened immune systems.
