[Spudnik]

Anyone got it? had it? know someone who has it??

What are you doing to try to avoid it? Nothing?

My son had it, just gave him paracetamol to keep his temp. down.Alright after one week.
Missus works at a school and loads of kids have had it,10 a day sent home.
It's very mild at the moment, probably best to get it now!!

Not got it yet, next door neighbour has though, i`m not worried what will be will be.........i think its got blown up out of all proportion as usual.

Wouldnt mind giving her a rub down with whatever you rub on for flu.....any excuse.

Few cases at my daughter's school.School's out now.Wait till the winter,that's when it will rear it's ugly head

 

[Spudnik]

I do agree about the media hype.

Im not sure but, is it any worse than regular flu?

Have more people died from it?

It seems that most people wouldnt even know if they had it or not.

I reckon all these epidemics/pandemics are man made.There is always an epidemic/pandemic every 40/50 years.Just a cleansing process IMO.

between 12000 and 36000 die of flu related nastyness every year in the UK.
Swine flu appears not to be potentially any worse.
Media hype.

 

[Mr Mark Sparks]

how do they diagnose it over the phone people must be ringing up and saying they have it to get the tabs
if you went to doctors with flu symptoms last year they would of sent you home with a flea in your lug for wasteing their
time now we are all doomed

mind you it stopped the recession from bringing doom and gloom

Seems like quite alot of hype from the media but it's a bit worrying how it's striking mothers and newborn babies
