Hi great article I really enjoy reading this blog,thanks, good topic Typically, influenza is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus. Influenza can also be transmitted by direct contact with bird droppings or nasal secretions, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. Airborne aerosols have been thought to cause most infections, although which means of transmission is most important is not absolutely clear. Influenza viruses can be inactivated by sunlight, disinfectants and detergents. As the virus can be inactivated by soap, frequent hand washing reduces the risk of infection.

why they don't call it simply H1N1 ?

H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those caused by other influenza viruses. Health authorities across the globe are taking steps to try to stem the spread of swine flu after outbreaks in Mexico and the United States. The World Health Organization has called it a "public health emergency of international concern."

I cannot see a mechanism for how mag stripe transactions could be banned let alone any possibility of it happening by 2012.

It’s too early to tell whether the H1N1 virus is hype or real but after the disastrous consequences of being unprepared after hurricane Katrina it’s better to err on the side of caution than to be caught unprepared again. So even if this virus turns out to be a non-event it’s still “good practice” for the day the real thing may come along.
