Major Flu Outbreak, Unique Way To Study The Virus Behavior

U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Epidemiology Consult Service care are studying the outbreak of the swine flu. They are studying the patterns of the virus along with the behavior of it. This virus can still exist inside a person's body even when the person feels 100% percent better and continues their daily life activities.

The seasonal flu lasts for normally seven days. However, there is not study that proved that H1N1 will end in seven days such as the normal flu would. College outbreaks of swine flu are expected to continue to occur more throughout the winter. Researches are looking for more preventable things people can due in order to avoid this virus.

I think it is going to take a while for researches to develop a way to avoid someone from getting H1N1. People still are not prevented from getting the seasonal flu and that has been around much longer than swine flu.
