The 2009 swine flu pandemic was thus called a quadruple reassortant virus.

While the origin is not irrefutably established, the first published cases were in Mexico.

These viruses spread with extreme speed throughout the world, creating pandemic levels of contagion within three months.

Viral transmission in this case, occurs by exposure to coughing and sneezing, or touching a contaminated surface then touching the eyes, nose, or mouth, according to the CDC.

People can be contagious 24 hours before they become symptomatic.

This viral pandemic varied from mild to lethal, although it was not as lethal as seasonal influenza.
