👉 The Socks Flu, also known as Multidrug-Resistant Influenza A/H1N1 Pandemic Influenza (SARS-H1N1), is a novel influenza A virus that emerged in 2009, causing widespread concern due to its potential for rapid global spread and resistance to standard antiviral treatments. This flu virus is characterized by its ability to mutate quickly, leading to the emergence of new strains that can evade the immune system and existing vaccines. The term "fluid" in Socks Flu refers to its highly adaptable nature, allowing it to rapidly change its surface proteins and evade detection by the human immune system. This adaptability, coupled with its potential for high transmissibility and severe illness, makes the Socks Flu a significant public health threat that requires constant surveillance and preparedness measures.
