<human>: What do I need to know about the new swine flu?
<bot>: The Swine Flu is a type of influenza virus that can be transmitted from pigs to humans. It is caused by a strain of Influenza A virus, which is a type of RNA virus that infects cells in the respiratory tract and causes symptoms such as fever, coughing, sore throat, body aches, fatigue and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms usually last for 2-7 days but may be more severe in some people. There is no specific treatment for this type of influenza, so it is important to stay home if you are sick and seek medical attention promptly if your condition worsens.
