Are we going to be stopped from going on holidays for fear of Swine Flu?

Swine Flu is still as strong as it ever was. All of us thought that Swine Flu was starting to fade out, and cases had started to drop. Swine Flu has stretched all over the world, and is still killing as it travels. It is now that people are only really starting to realise that Swine Flu is here to stay for a while to come, what they want to know is what symptoms are on their way?

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 makes its way through the body at a slower rate, it takes around two days for it to get to it’s worst. Compared to other Viruses, Swine Flu is a fast acter, it damages the body as quikcly as possible. 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.

The tourism industry has once again been smacked by the Swine Flu Virus. School half term has just passed, and so have the holiday rushes that come with it, but it was not quite so pleasant for some travelling to Egypt, suspected of having Swine Flu. They were taken to what has been described by many as a hell hole. A sensor in the Airport they arrived at alerted guards to the children’s unusually high body temperatures, and they were whisked off to a 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 bashing recently; Caribbean holidays including St Lucia holidays have been very promising through the Swine Flu time.
