Swine Flu H1N1/RNA Necktie #5900 Multi/Black
|
|
The current Swine Flu (H1N1) strain is a mélange of genetic RNA sequences from three separate hosts: piggy, bird and human. By a process called “reassortment” (sounds a lot like “mutation” to us, but we are nothing, if not techno-accurate!) a new strain is formed which may be highly virulent and transmissible. While the full implications of the threat are not yet determined, vaccines are in development for immunization to specific demographics. It’s important that the public educate itself about this flu and its potential in order to make reasonable determinations for themselves and their families. |
