Swine Flu

Does anyone else think this has been greatly exaggerated? Anyways, 101 cases in Canada alone.

yeah i at the begin think this was the end of the world^^ but now i dont take care of it^^ no deads only in mexico so?

it is not as nearly as harmful as the bird flue, it is even less harmfull than the usual one, just get a shot, and you are done

I thought there was no cure to it - or do you mean a shot to prevent yourself from getting it?

They're making a vaccine.18 cases in my whole country,4 in my Country.

not one case in mine, its as lethal as untreated usual flue, it raises temperature, when the temperature gets to 42 degrees, your proteins start to decompose, and you are dead soon

if you get 42 degrees go to the bath room and take an ice water shower^^

my mother is a doctor and its quite the opposite of what you got to do, get 10 blankets and warm up, start sweating, and the body will cool itself naturally

after cold water, the temperature gets even higher

wow i didnt knowed that....could you ask your mother for other things to do if you get that flu? just for precausion

Well, here is what you do:

1) Sit down
2) Put your head between your legs
3) Kiss your ass good bye

lol

I don't have it and there's about 2 cases where I'm located so I stopped paying attention at about the 4th day of this "pandemic".

According to the news, the "pandemic" is dying down.

I thought the WHO kept the disease level at 5.Wasn't 6 the pandemic level?

I agree with Shinobi I study Bio

Personally, I think that ya'll arn't taking this serious. The spanish flu came in the spring pretty bad, killing some people, then they thought it was gone. Then it came back in the fall, not even flu season yet, and it killed millons.

I have no intention of being scared and paranoid, if it comes, it comes and we do something about it. the thing that I think is unfair is that the rich fatcats are stocking up on medicine before it is anywhere near where i am and by the time it does, there will be none left for the little guy.

Your right about the rich fatcats

indeed I am, I think things should be made more equal and everyone should get a chance to get it, even if they are not rich (it may sound communist, but it's true. in fact I am a sort of communist but not the evil sort, you know what I'm talking about.)

Actually in America only 3 people have died because of the swine flu. And they died because they had other health problems. So I think we're taking it as serious as we need to be.

yeah, a lot of this is just hype, people could be dieing for other reasons but everyone automatically thinks it is swine flu. as I said, i think there should be precautions but we shouldn't get too worried yet.
