number of suspected cases and deaths increasing but very very slowly, confirmed cases rising quickly, this swine flu has been a disappointment. I had been hoping for it to turn into some sort of doomsday thing but this flu is just lame.

a few teachers at my school were sent home today with suspected swine flu... fantastic
No confirmed cases in Australia yet thankfully (touch wood).
| leo-j said: I have influenza A, the type of flu I have is unknown at the moment, H1N1 is categorized under influenza A. Its funny, the doctors have completely isolated me from school for 5 days, Im not dying or anything, just a cold. |
The Flu and colds are caused by two completely different viruses.
The flu is responsible for aches, pains, diarrhea, discomfort, sickness (throwing up) and weakness (and no colds).
A cold is normally caused by a picornavirus and you usually has the symptoms of sore throat, conjestion, mild sickness(in some cases)and a runny nose.
The differences in virulence between the two are very dramatic, an example of this is the fact that 'average flu' has a death rate of ~8%, whereas colds have a death rate of ~0%.
Many people that have colds think they have the flu and it is not the same.
Anywho, If you are debilitated, in bed, shitting yourself and bleeding from the nose, mouth and ass then i would be concerned. If not you will be fine in no time!
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.
Someone wake me when this thing kills even 5% as many people as the good ol' fashioned, normal flu.

People are still talking about this? I had thought the pressed move on and people would move on too...
Well I just got from Bangkok on a flight that connected at HongKong on the way to Seoul.
A lot of the staff wore masks and a lot of people too. But it's hard to say how many of them would be wearing masks either way, as they're pretty popular over here.
All 3 airports had thermal detectors, Hong Kong had health forms to fill out and every person got an ear thermometer check (that took a while). My partner and I were terrified to cough or sneeze for fear of getting yanked quarantined.

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
The Spanish Flu in 1917 first came in the spring, fizzeled out by summer, and roared back in the Fall.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
