South Korea experiences its first death from swine flu on August
15, 2009. The man was in his mid 50's and due to complications
from the swine flu, and also developing pneumonia. This is the
first death to be reported in South Korea and South Korea is
taking extreme precautions in trying to prevent the spread of
the H1N1 virus from spreading and taking any more lives that it
already has in South Korea. Since May 2nd, 2009 when South Korea
discovered its first case of swine flu, it has had around 2,000
cases since then, with only one case of swine flu resulting in
death. It is also said that as swine flu is beginning to die
down in the southern hemisphere, that it is beginning to pick up
in the Asian countries.
