SHOOT: Virile means 'masculine'. The word you're looking for is virulent. It's worrying when those who peddle the news to the masses don't quite know, and don't really to the trouble to gain proper insights on what is really happening themselves. This is how ignorance and misinformation (and nonsense) gets perpetuated.
Because of its virility, swine flu was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation a month ago, and it has killed over 300 people worldwide in the three months since its outbreak.
Most of the existing South African cases are in the Gauteng region with 29; the Eastern Cape follows with the seven cases, the Western Cape with five, and the Free State and Northern Cape with two people each.
