I think it's too late here. I've been sick as a dog since Tuesday. All the classic severe flu symptoms and I'm hoping it will decide to move on in the next few days.
I've got a friend in Atlanta who's wife got it and it apparently transformed into pneumonia in just a few days. She's pretty much out of commission for a few weeks until they get it takes care of.
i'm still not convinced this whole H1N1 thing really is that big of a deal. if you look at the total number of regular flu victims/fatalities and then compare that with the data for H1N1, it doesn't make sense that people are freaking out so much. i've never had a flu vaccine, and i honestly don't think i will. just my 2 cents
Maybe you just have the good old fashion influenza virus.
I'm on the fence, I have a feeling my employer is going to make it mandatory since I'm on the front lines. I hope not, I'm not sold.
We have had to do quite a bit of training and edu on this thing, and your right, it seems to really be no real difference with the regular influenza virus. EXCEPT..... Its killing healthly young adults also. The flu has never done this.

How would we know how many - if any - "healthy young adults" had died before? We never had an administration with the same agenda as this one. ("Never let a good 'crisis' go to waste.)
.... elderly, newborns, neutropenic patients, immune suppressed, excreta.
We'll get the flu shots. I'm still at a loss as to how getting the flu shot is supposed to benefit Obama?
Anyway, the swine flu isn't as bad as the regular flu, but I don't want either one. Folks with diabetes and heart disease, I have both, are more prone to dying, and my wife is a day care director so it's inevitable that she and our son will be exposed to it. We'll all get the shots. Especially since the "heart disease" part of my life is caused by deciding one year that we could save a few pennies by not having me pay for a shot for myself. That decision darn near killed me. I ended up having to sit up to sleep, because I couldn't breath if I laid down. My lungs were filled with fluid, I had green stuff coming out of my nose and ears. I took too much dayquil with psuedoephedrine and ended up with an arythmia. I thought I was going to die, and so did my sister when she came over for a visit. Freaked her out. Ended up in the emergency room, and took months to recover. I never want to go through that again, especially since I'm not sure I could survive. Flu shots are good!!
