Abstract

The author reflects on the issue of H1N1 whether it is a pandemic or bioterrorism. The author states that the current H1N1 virus which started in Mexico in March 2009, has been found of having a combination of genes from pig, bird and human flu viruses, prompting some suspicion that the virus is perpetrated by bad elements. However, the author notes whether the current swine flu outbreak is a pandemic or an attack of bioterrorism, it is still a matter of a debate.
