2. Swine flu


Nowadays, we hear and read about swine flu everywhere. I wondered why it's so popular and I learned that a different version of this flu has first came out in Spain as Spanish Flu in 1918 and it killed 50 to 100 million people as I read from the wikipedia. This time in 2009 it is first seen in Mexico and it is now in Turkey. Doctors say that we don't have to worry about it too much because it is just as risky as the other types of flu. All we have to do is to take care and be careful in the public areas as not to get the flu..
