    They are just trying to scare you. If you are a healthy individual and don't have any existing health issues you can beat swine flu.
    Vaccines are crap.

    true of the regular flu, but this strain is acting more like the type that kills people without existing health issues.

    ultimately you are either going to get it, or you're not and that's all that there is to it.

    My kid's been out since Tuesday with a bug (fever, sore throat, and cough). Took her in today to be on the safe side and she was negative for Flu and Strep. I think it really is much ado about nothing, especially after grilling her doctor, and it will end up like the '76 outbreak where the vaccine killed way more people than the bug did. Also considering the vaccines in use in the UK are being linked to new cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Whoops.

    From my kid's school:

    While H1N1 remains a health concern, public health officials in Georgia and across the nation have downgraded the initial alarm about the virus. In Georgia healthcare providers are no longer testing every case specifically for this strain of influenza.

    With the school year under way and students again in close proximity, already we are seeing students with flu-like symptoms in our school. This is common at most schools in our district and throughout the metro area. H1N1 is very similar to other strains of flu, and it can be treated.

    Because healthcare providers are not always testing for H1N1, we will not know every case of H1N1 flu that occurs. But it should be assumed that H1N1 is currently in our community, including schools. We will treat H1N1 cases as we would any other cases of flu, which means we do not plan to send out individual letters with every confirmed case. I want to remind you that if your child begins to show flu-like symptoms, it is important that you keep your child home and not allow him or her to return to school until at least 24 hours have passed without fever.

    The reason some of these flu's get so bad is because they have gotten stronger and stronger. The reason for that is because we made them need to get stronger.

    I think you're thinking of bacterial illness. Flu is a virus and is different all the time because it mutates not because it builds immunity to treatment.

    i've never had a flu shot or taken antibiotics and am never sick--a nice benefit of avoiding people.

    Growing up, we had free healthcare - If you needed braces, the healthboard equivalent was a brutally tight wire retainer. if you had bad eyesight you got what we called downs syndrome glasses (the kind Tuffy wears by choice).
    As a result I am sceptical of free medical anything.

    I can attest to the benefit of avoiding people. I've been a juvenile diabetic since my teens (autoimmune), and since I've been working at home for the last 5 years, I've rarely even had a cold let alone, the flu. Unheard of in earlier years, when I'd get every dagbum thing my half-dead co-workers would bring into the office because they wouldn't stay home to convalesce. Grrrr -one of my pet peeves.
