The Mexican Flu outbreak in April 2009 is taking the World Health Organization’s full attention.
The serious flu epidemic has not yet been officially termed as a “Pandemic” however officials are studying the disease very closely. America has raised the threat level to number 4, just one level below the state of a pandemic is in progress.
The type H1N1 flu virus is believed to have originated in pigs and in some way was transferred to humans. The epicenter is being tracked and it is no doubt in Mexico but the exact center has not been proven yet.
