This is new as I understand it. It is a combination of four strains of flu, two swine (Eurasian and North American) , one avian and one human.

No, your flu shot will not protect you against this new strain. I think it’s important for everyone not to panic at this point. To my knowledge, no one has died from this outside of Mexico. Can anyone confirm that?

Also, the strain that has been confirmed here in the US needs to analyzed and compared to what’s happening in Mexico. Are they the same? The Mexico version is a combo of several types.

The flu shot you got won’t help. Truthfully I’m starting to get some symptoms. I hope it’s all in my head. But being in Houston....

I'm not sure, but pig wrestling is definitely out.
