swine flu

True, regular hand washing is the best way to combat the spread of swine flu, or any other flu.

Also remember to wash your hands after sneezing or coughing into your hand, after blowing your nose and before touching food.

Here is the official NHS advice:

To reduce the risk of catching or spreading the virus you should:
-cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, using a tissue
-throw the tissue away quickly and carefully
-wash your hands regularly with soap and water
-clean hard surfaces (like door handles and remote controls) frequently with a normal cleaning product

I also think that the virus might have been produced in labs by some people in order to profiteer by selling the medicines. But, this does not change the fat that the disease exists and spread over the world. Countries must produce their own vaccines in order to be safe from both the disease and the profiteers.

Its not a big deal, me and my family had swine flu for a week and got over it.

I've been trying to nail down who would make the most money from the sale of swine flu vaccine. What I am finding is a bit of a surprise. The Drug companies that are marketing it are headquartered mostly in France and Sweden. The location of the manufacturers seems to be in the worlds largest vaccine producing plants which are in India.

all I know that for those of us in the USA who desire to get the vaccine, it is much cheaper to get it in either Canada or Mexico.

The country it first appeared. Mexico is a gate to the USA and the USA is a gate to the world.

At the same time it has been proved again pork meat is not good for your health. If you dont eat pork you dont get the virus from its meat.

Not an evidence at all, but the possibility. I am talking about the possibilities. Read my first post again.

The rare done meat dishes are popular, arent they?

It is indeed possible.

I don't see its relevance though, unless this is an argument as to why pork is haraam. The reasoning of that argument would be fallacious, however.

Actually people should have always known pork is hazardous. Anybody who lives in a country where pork is sold has seen the warnings that pork must be "Cured" and/or thoroughly cooked before eating. It should never be eaten rare or improperly cooked of cured.

Of course us Muslims don't have to worry about the safety warnings about pork, that is a hazardous substance we avoid.

Now back to Swine Flu. Very few if any people have contracted it from pork. Most people catch it from contact with people. It does not have to be actual physical contact, just handling the same objects can be sufficient.
