hi,
Influenza A H1N1 is a class A virus that is highly contagious and dangerous kind of disease that is belived to have originated in mexico. It is not known about how it behaves but it spreads for person to person. Countries are trying to control the virus by entering their countries by puting alot of thermal cameras around the arrival areas like the airport. Taking tempreture is effective beacuse it can tell if someone is having a sickness and therefore narrowing the chances of someone having H1N1. I am washing my hands more often now. According to only what I know, Canada, Mexico, America and japan are having the disease. But in total, there are 40 infected countries.
yours,Matthew Lim
