Swine flu a.k.a selsema babi...
An investigation and response effort surrounding the outbreak of swine flu is ongoing. The epicenter of the outbreak is Mexico, where although there have only been 26 confirmed cases, it is believed that up to 149 people may have died from the infection.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is working very closely with officials in US states where human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) have been identified, as well as with health officials in Mexico, Canada and the World Health Organization. This includes deploying staff domestically and internationally to provide guidance and technical support. It is important to note that there is no human pandemic of swine influenza at this time.
