We are now at the latter stages of winter and it seems that the worst is behind us. The H1N1 virus is no longer headline news. Remember the heady days of September and October of last year when you turned on the radio or television, all you heard about was the H1N1 virus, and its effect on the population?
Scientists and government health officials were forecasting a third and more imminent wave of the swine flu that would occur in the first few months of the new year. Happily, this has not materialized. But if you google "H1N1 news" you will still find that there are still cases of the flu scattered over the globe. Some cases are fatal involving deaths and others are merely hospitalizations.
This all points out to the fact that the H1N1 virus has not yet been erased from our memory. Only half of the population of the US has taken the vaccine. Millions of dollars have been spent by governments in ensuring that there is adequate safeguard for the population at large. Vast amounts of resources such as makeshift clinics, advertising campaigns, revival of retired medical workers, have been consumed ad mobilized to fight the virus.
So has the government been successful in its efforts to combat the virus? Yes it has. Because if half the population has not had the urge to get the vaccine, then there has to be some faith in the way various governments have fought this battle.
The H1N1 virus is no longer front page news. But at the same time, there are still cases of H1N1 that are surfacing. The virus will not disappear as most people think it will, but it us just short-term hiatus.
Read about the latest developments regarding the H1N1 virus or 'swine flu' as it is also commonly known as. We are not out of the woods yet as there is still the possibility of future outbreaks.
