What is H1N1 and what does swine flu mean?

Asked by Female, 35 ยท 2 months ago

One kind of influenza is H1N1. Humans can contract this virus by coughing or sneezing. Because the virus originated in pigs, it is commonly known as swine flu. Like seasonal flu, it causes fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches.
