Pig sniffle blues

The person I caught Swine Flu from hadnt had a day off work sick in at least 3 years. He had a fever and cold sweats as well as other stuff like bad headaches. I had a bad cough but the headaches werent that bad. I only had one cold sweat but at other times I shivered for hours on end, I just couldnt get warm. I only took one Tamiflu because it came straight back up. Not everyone is getting off lightly with it!!

Swine Flu is a joke ! I am currently at home with the sniffles, well a bit more severe as I am now on anti-biotics. However with all this swine flu hype I am not allowed to return to work until I am cleared of having swine flu. I can’t even get tested for it !!!

I just wonder how much access we are going to have to high level medical professionals if hundreds of thousands of people get quite sick with swine flu.

It isn’t as if we have any extra capacity in our health system for pandemic conditions.

Sepi, I agree, yes.. more infectious, is it more hamrful, I do not believe so, If I could predict the future, I would tell you.

the facts are that symptoms last 2 to 3 days and are highly contagious.

I have had long drawn out chest infections longer than 2 to 3 weeks.

I think ill be right with my assumptions on this one….lest my heart runs on for 2 hours after death.

With my access to high level medical professionsals, not media releases, I think ill be alright with my assumptions.

Of course it could go all pear shaped and ill be thinking about my assumptions looking down the barrel of an H&K MP5 when the biohazard suited death squads raid my secret 2nd coming/holocaust basement facility..

I think ill be ok though.

This is not just a normal flu, otherwise the World Health Organisation wouldn’t have declared it a pandemic.

It is more highly infectious than the usual flu – 1/3 or people who come into contact with it briefly seem to come down with it.

Australia is now the test case for what happens when swine flu infection co-incides with the standard flu season in a country. We haven’t even started our flu season yet, but plenty of people have got swine flu, with numbers growing daily.

People are now in Intensive Care in Melbourne with swine flu. And it can hit young healthy people hard, as well as asthmatics etc, so I wouldn’t be too blase about it.

“There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.””

My kid is home crook, could esily be H1N1 I would think about taking her to the doc. However, that would just spread it about and cost a tidy sum! By the time any results came back she will probably be fine again! Once again, what are the symptoms? Another thing that is bugging me is the announcements that X number of people now have it. They keep adding to the number but never say how many are now perfectly healthy again.

H1N1 + global warming = news that sells. All crap.

Probably not, but ALL of us might get it.

It appears that influenza, like yours oinkly, have a 24hr period between the infectious stage and symptomatic stage. Symptomatic is when it’s obvious that you’re sick (sore throat, aching, fever). So, with this cunning delay that will allow a healthy looking person to go about her day while inadvertently infecting her farrow, there’s going to be sh*t loads of people going pig-shaped.

Judging from what appears to be an ever increasing number of sty population, we’re up the swine creek.

muahahahahahahahahahha

I have a son at Florey and his Kindy mates an he are excluded for 72 hours. He’s as bored as anything and climbing the walls…Gotta love hysteria. BTW he hasn’t even got a runny nose, although if I keep giving him Tamiflu I bet he does.

We’re all gunna die!!!!!
