Except the deaths have not been among the very old, very young and very infirm.
Pregnant mothers and older children with Asthma are also seriously affected, as are others.
I'm not saying this is the end of the world, but winter has yet to arrive, and it will not be until December that we will know how this disease will spread compared to "regular" flu.

No one really builds up a resistance to the flu virus. It is really to do with exposure and certain physical conditions. I was just reading an article that said people with astham have a greater chance of contracting swine flu. any orgahs should get the vaccine, please.
Like it has been said the ones who really need the vaccine are the old, sick, and very young. Much like a ship sinking, the women and children first.![]()
I suppose pregnancy is not an "underlying health problem", but a pregnant women and her unborn child are still very vulnerable to illness. Asthma would count as a serious underlying health problem. A person can die from an asthma attack whether they get flu or not.

I think I may have had swine flu already.
A GP friend of mine said they had done sample tests on lots of people right at the start of the outbreak, and that people with a very wide variation of symptoms were coming back as positive - from full on flu, to just a cold, to just a temperature.
I just got a temperature and was very tired for a couple of days. I got it from my son who picked it up from school - where there had been some conformed cases.

Same, few weeks ago. My legs felt a bit weak and I have been a bit dizzy, didn't eat very much. Never have that, sometimes I feel bad for a day but I usually know why that is.

Now that you mention it, I woke up last sunday morning at 11.00 with a tremendous headache and nausea...![]()
No, I dont think I will. I dont really think I need to worry about it. If I die of the swine flu, then I made one hell of a mistake, but if I dont, than I shall ... well, continue living.
