As one of the most important social network in the world today Facebook, could not be alien to the world struggle waged against the scourge of that era is the swine flu, or influenza A, and several groups have originated in function of this struggle.

From Mexico where it all began, were used to cover all media, minute by minute monitoring of the disease, since cases that appear at every turn, until all preventive measures to protect the population and their global spread and immediate intervention by international agencies such as WHO and the UN.

And at such global alarm, social networks could not be exempted because they represent a tool and weight, has to face the struggle for life, and Facebook, if you put the word swine flu in the search, a diversity of groups with ongoing activity, where you can find all kinds of positions, from critics throughout the global development of the disease, its extent in different countries, how each country carries out prevention, and treatment cases.

We can also find groups that posit the most unlikely solutions, such as political relations with reference to bombs and Chavez, as well as those seeking the suspension of international flights to Mexico and the U.S..
Facebook groups are multiplying almost exponentially, and that so far reached 327, referring to the disease, bringing together 15,000 people.

Undoubtedly social networks such as blogs, microblogs, Twitter represents the most important tool for the global fight against latent ability to the feared pandemic, allowing ordinary people to convey their experiences, state or local knowledge, as a new line of defense and perhaps the most powerful.
