Are we going to be stopped from going on holidays for fear of Swine Flu?
The world is still being attacked by Swine Flu. It was coming to that point where, we all thought that the Swine Flu epidemic was starting to end. We are now aware that Swine Flu has travelled almost the entire Globe now. Swine Flu is has been the planets enemy for a while now, but what are the symptoms that we can “really” expect to experience?
It is very easy to determine whether or not you have Flu or Swine Flu, there are some big symptom differences. Swine Flu is described as a virus that you either definately know you have, or you haven’t got it. Flu travels through the Human body at a slower rate, and doesn’t get to its worse state for a couple of days. Swine Flu is one of those Viruses that takes action very quickly, and deals damage fast. The Main symptoms are similar to those that you experience when you get the Flu, like; Nausea, Headaches, Runny Nose, Aches and Pains, all over the body. The biggest and most noticeable difference in these Flu’s is that the Swine Flu one is much, much worse, all of the symptoms you would normally experience are terribly exacerbated.
Tourism is once again being dealt a blow due to the Swine Flu Virus. Over the school half term, around 40 children who were going on holidays with families to Egypt were quarantined under suspicion of having the virus. These people have described their experiences as harrowing, and the place they were taken to to be a “hell hole”. Before the tourists even knew it, armed guards were alerted to the Childrens body heat as being “high”, and they were bundled into ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. Swine Flu won’t be vacating the premises or leaving the building at any time soon, it will be a virus that hangs around and will either fade quickly at some point, or hang around for years.
Egypt holidays have taken a bit of a crash recently; Caribbean holidays including St Lucia holidays have been very successful through the Swine Flu period.
