The outbreak of A/H1N1 pandemic flu during 2009, also known like Swine flu, happened as a transcendental event in the social, political, economic, journalist, scientific and cultural area, in the recent history of the world, due to the fact that it generated an enviroment of uncertainty and poverty in to feel of the community in general. The rapidity as events occurred and many opposing opinions propitiated speculation brings over of the real nature of the virus and the disease that they originated the pandemic of influenza. For such of a motive across an extensive review of the content published in the diverse projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, furthermore some scientific publications in the matter, I present a synthesis about the brings over of what this epidemic was indeed, his scopes and his problematic; besides the message that leaves us and the possible consequences that it will have in the future.
