 * March 18—**The swine flu began in Mexico and was an especially deadly strain of flu. Thousands of people there became sick, and more than 100 died. That flu, caused by the H1N1 virus, quickly spread around the world. When it showed up in the United States, some schools closed to prevent the virus from spreading rapidly among the students. Thankfully, scientists have been able to learn more about the virus and are providing many people with vaccines.

I think the swine flu affected the world the most in 2009. It got almost everybody worried.
