In April, 2009, an outbreak of Swine Flu was reported, first in Mexico, and then immediately after other countries as well, giving every indication of a possible pandemic. The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] said the [[Mexico|Mexican]] virus samples match the [[U.S.]] virus. ''The virus is a mix of human virus, bird virus from [[North America]] and pig viruses from North America, [[Europe]] and [[Asia]].'' The CDC recommends the use of the flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, as there isn't a specific vaccine for the current mutated strain. <ref>[http://www2a.cdc.gov/podcasts/player.asp?f=11226 CDC Podcast]</ref> It is genetically different from the fully human H1N1 seasonal influenza virus that has been circulating globally for the past few years. The new flu virus contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses. <ref>[http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/ CDC: Swine Influenza]</ref> <ref>[http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_04_24/en/index.html WHO bulletin: Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response (EPR)]</ref>
 
Like all life and non-life on earth, Swine Flu was created by God during creation.
