I do! I'm special! YAY!
You're clearly like that guy who starts liking an Indie band just after they start going mainstream. You think it's cool, but all the really Indie kids were into them soooo long ago.
Swine flu sold out.

I don't know. My throat hurts since late Thursday but it could be anything. :shrug:
I think we all know the real reason :eyebrows:
My brother got it a while back. He was diagnosed on monday after not feeling great saturday, left for London on the friday for 2 weeks. Was fine.
Swine flu or some other type of flu seems to be hitting my area (suburban Philadelphia) pretty hard. A number of teenagers on Facebook claim they have Swine flu but whether it is a legitimate claim, I can't say. However, whatever it is, a lot of people are sick. My son said the hall at his school have been relatively empty the last day or two.
I thought I did, but doc tells me I only had a cold. I don't remember a cold which limited my movement to grunts and spasms, but :shrug:
I don’t know if it is something to celebrate. Getting over it maybe.
I had the verity of Swine Flue that went around in the late 1960s. It was Not Fun.
We just had a visit from some flu over the last couple of weeks. But not “That One“.
We have kids in school and guess what they brought home...
High fevers for days, aches and pains, the whole 9 yards and when it seems over you are still weak and everything is a huge effort.
But Hay! If you are enjoying yours, more power to you!
It was to my understanding, that the highest percentage of people who got swine flu were the ones that were doing a poor job of washing their hands after a lavatory visit. :shrug:

I dont have it....yet. At my school there are 110 recorded cases of it so far (out of like 2000), and I ride a different schools bus home and they got it all over their school. Im 99% sure in the next month or two im going to getdeathswine flu. I can just feel it. Granted im in peak physical condition and very clean, im still doomed.
If you're that worried there's always this thing called a vaccine...
First death in Turkey occured in Ankara -where I'm living right now.
Remember me as a "good fella" and shovel it up.
Yep, our Dear Leader has ensured that we will all get a dose, and it's free too. I should really go and get mine. Am trying to make sure the oldies and kiddies get theirs.
Indeed, my girls have already been vaccinated. I decided against it, so that it frees up supply for some other kid. I'm healthy, and obsessive compulsive about washing my hands, so my chances of getting it, aren't really terribly high... *knock on wood*Quote:

Attempt to quarantine Swine Flu victim failed.
We just let it loose, and its Swine Flu everywhere :sweatdrop:
My region is full of seniors, who supposingly got resistant to Swine Flu. So me and my family is safe so far.
I'm the son of a Doctor, so I get priority for vaccines:2thumbsup:
Tell me when this swine flu starts killing more people then the regular flu every year.
Notice any side affects?Quote:

As in you're trying or trying not to? :grin2:
Quick, lets make all your friends think I look up to you.
lol, I am not worried about it killing me, personally I think that the whole thing is blown out of proportion. It still stinks to have it though.Quote:

The chances of it killing you are less than regular flu though, so I would not worry about it. All it will do is make you feel like trash for a week or so. :PQuote:

There have been deaths in their thousands due to being misdiagnosed with Swine Flu, because of these wussies who cannot handle the sniffles. I also personally had two family members end up in critical state because they were ill with other thinks and the medics just insisted on fobbing them off with Tamiflu.
Not necessarily. We may be in for a smaller scale repeat of Spanish flu. Out (I think) 7 deaths in BC, 1 was was a healthy woman with nothing impeding her immune system. While I do agree that the media is as always, blowing it totally out of scale, mutations are always a risk factor.

Mass outbreak of H1N1 in Texas.
So you're a Typhoid Mary? :laugh4: j/kQuote:

The flu is the only illness I ever get, and I have it almost every year. This year, I've had it twice, first in January, after the door got stuck at work and I was standing 8 hours without outdoor clothing at a temperature of around 2-3 degrees...
The second time was this summer, after a trip to Italy. That may have been the swine flu.
This friday, I had a headache, runny nose, weak body, red eyes and that sick feeling in my mouth. But I did not have a fever... All weekend I waited and waited, wishing that finally, for the first time in my life, I would get to stay home from work because I was sick, and also the general awesomeness of having the swine flu. But on sunday, I was much better, and today I just have some snot in my nose. It just isn't meant to be...:sweatdrop:
lol, when I walked into the room, the nurse told me "WOW, your eyes look REALLY sick!". I told her "Darn, I thought you were gonna say handsome!". Of course a coughing fit ruined any cuteness that might have went along with that. :PQuote:

It does. I probably had it a few weeks ago, don't think I had it as badly as Vuk, had no trouble doing my stuff but it was really painful. You will truly feel terrible for a while, after a few days it wears down, you will feel weak for a while. But you'll live.Quote:

Yeah, my sorry repayment for letting me stay at the house and waiting on me hand and foot when I was too tired to move. I don't know why they put up with me. :PQuote:

There is too much noise about that. In an ordinary flu, people also die. The difference is that the media do not pay much attention on it. So don't worry, be happy!Quote:

The brother of a friend of mine at school just died from it. That is the third death around here. I don't think any other UW schools have had deaths yet. What the heck type of luck is that for us?!
The various types of "common" influenza floating around limit themselves to the elderly, young, or otherwise immunologically impeded when it comes to actual deaths.
But as of now, it's blowing over. Good times for all.
I've got it. Sucks, but I'm pretty sure I wont die a horrible death. :idea2:
I'm worried about the next big thing:
https://img44.imageshack.us/img44/65...flucartoon.jpg
I got it... from my daughter who also got it (from kindergarten).
She got it bad with fever, vomit, running nose and coughing.
I on the other hand appears to only have a slight cold with stuffy nose and a cough. I feel fine, but stay at home because I am apparently infectious. They say you should stay at home 7 days. This is my 4th and I feel fine. The cough is nearly gone.
They say people react to it differently. Some are hospitalised and even dies. Others just get a mild flu.
Yeah, I got it really, really bad, but my brothers barely had a sniffle, and they all got it. My cat could tell I was sick, and she stayed with me the whole time I was sick. I was a little worried because she seemed sick afterward, but she got over it. I read today that cats can actually catch swine flu from humans. I hope that is not what happened. That would make me feel really bad. :PQuote:

Whether or not its swine flu, I have no idea. But my nose is running like a tap, my ears and eyes are sore, and I feel pretty crappy in general.
Wooooo! :beam::beam::beam:
lol, congrats!
Welcome to the club! I thought that I would be rid of it by now but right now I am ready to be mobbed up and thrown in a bucket. Deary me this sucks planets through a straw.
lol, it has been lingering around with me too. I am still blowing my nose and have no strength. :P I didn't think the thing would last that long.Quote:
