Question

what are some of the concerns that medical professionals have about flu pandemic? What dangerous do flu pandemics have?

Answer 1

There are many different influenza A viruses; some are found in humans and others in animals such as avian flu in birds and poultry.

Avian influenza A viruses usually do not infect humans, but rare cases of human infection with these viruses have been reported. Most of the time, these rare infections have occurred after unprotected contact with infected birds or surfaces contaminated with avian influenza viruses.

Answer 2

The concern doctors have about an influenza epidemic is that, in addition to the fact that the flu virus spreads easily and can infect many people in a short time, it is a virus that undergoes frequent mutations making it difficult to treat properly to prevent the disease from progressing in the body.

The flu pandemics that have been extremely dangerous lately have been bird flu and swine flu.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a disease spreads over a large geographical area, we say a pandemic is occurring. This means that the disease is not restricted to just one region or people, it affects more than one country. The pandemic risks are higher today because people have a greater ability to travel. Today, the movement of people between continents is very common, which can help to bring pathogens from one area to another.

A very dangerous pandemic is the influenza pandemic, such as swine flu and bird flu. What is most worrying about this epidemic is that the flu virus is easily spread into the environment and can spread within hours and infect many people. Another concern is the difficulty in establishing effective treatment for these diseases, as the influenza virus mutates rapidly.
