Since April, swine flu has been spreading throughout the United States. According to the CDC, it is spreading by personal contact and by contact with unclean surfaces previously touched by people with H1N1.
According to the Center for Disease Control's Web site, H1N1 is not the same sort of virus found in North American pigs and spreads through humans, not from pigs to humans or from pork products to humans.
Influenza is currently reported to be prevalent in 46 states, and the CDC's 2009 H1N1 Flu: Situation Update Web page reports "almost all of the influenza viruses identified so far are 2009 H1N1 influenza A viruses. These viruses remain similar to the virus chosen for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine."
UW-Oshkosh has taken steps to make the student body aware of how H1N1 can be spread, and how students can avoid catching or spreading H1N1.
