H1N1 (Swine) Flu - Page 8

*Cipher* · 10-28-2009, 10:42 PM

I know two people that have had it personally, and at least three more friends-of-friends. It's a college campus, so sh*t gets around fast. Even worse, a friend's boyfriend went into our health center because he thought he'd come down with it (he had), and their response was, "If you have Swine Flu symptoms, then what are you doing here? Go quarantine yourself!" Like, what the hell? He could have had something else even worse. Things are getting retarded.

SARS, Bird Flu...

I had it at the beginning of the month and I was in bed for 3 days. Immediately after I got through that I came down with a secondary infection. I had a sore throat for the next 4 days. Not just a regular sore throat, like white sores on the back of my throat. It almost hurt as bad as when I got my tonsils out.

Terrible week.

*Brodie* · 10-29-2009, 10:54 AM

The secondary infection sounds like Broncitis or Strepp.

Did anyone see this?

They are talking about it every day here in sweden and we are all gettin ready for it. But I am not that sure if I really want the vaccine or not. Cause from what i have heard you can get really sick from it and that makes me wonder if it is worth it.

*Spitfire* · 10-29-2009, 10:28 PM

San Fran got the vaccine today, they are giving it out for free. About 10 clinics had it so I went to the one closest to me. The line was wrapped around the entire building and I went only 1 hour after the announcement was made. They also threw out the "priority" and made it first come first serve. I'm under 25 and I'm asthmatic, as is my best friend and roommate so we're in the highest risk group. My girlfriend also has asthma but she's 25. She's in the second highest risk group.

I'd have waited but it was in the middle of the ghetto and being white there doesn't exactly warrant a welcome. I seriously wish they would charge for it. I'd rather have to pay then wait in line for 5 hours with only a chance of getting it. Hobos and illegal immigrants shouldn't take priority over actual citizens. I can see why people were mad about the prison thing too, it's the same concept in my book.

See that's what I thought and that's why I went back to the doctors but they tested for it and it was negative. It was just some virus that I forgot the name of. No antibiotic, the Doc just game me stuff to numb the pain. He gave me "Magic Mouth Wash", which truly was "magical". I'm pissed I've never gotten that for a sore throat before.

Angabariel · 10-30-2009, 05:51 AM

here in sweden we get it for free but just like anywhere else it is a long waiting line and riskgroups. I am not in any of these riskgroups so I think I will have to wait for it. But as i said before I am not that sure if I want to take it or not. People have been really sick from it here. They have got all sorts of things from it, sore throats to heartconditions.. so.. nah I do not know :/

I took it yesterday and nothing happened. It's the medias in Sweden (Aftonbladet and Expressen) who try to scare everybody, just to sell newspapers.

Sounds like what I had earlier this month. Some of the most intense physical pain I've ever experienced. Come to think of it, I had been sick about a week before that... Maybe I had swine flu and didn't realize it?

The worst part is the throat sores seem to be returning....

Here's the thing, if you don't vaccinate EVERYONE then ANYONE can get sick whether or not they've been vaccinated.

Lil G · 10-31-2009, 08:44 PM

My friend just got swine flu, pray for her please!!!

Deportation would be a better fix. Two birds with one stone. Hell maybe three birds.

No it's true.
The problem is? We're birds two and three.
People don't just get teleported when they're deported. Usually it happens by some means of public transportation. Not to mention the people involved in processing the deportation.

What you're suggesting makes one heck of a sound bite, but logistically it's a nightmare.

Oh fellow "swede" hahah.. I know that the newspapers are scaring people but at I know that at least some of it is true cause my best friend got it and she was really ill from it in a couple of days.. she got the flu symtoms.. but now she is fine, which is great

kev trashcan · 11-03-2009, 04:20 PM

all a bunch of hype, ive known more than one person that had it, 2 of these people are not heathy at all , bad food, smokers, drinkers, and after a few days they were fine. its a really nasty flu but its nothing to be scared of, its all a bunch of propaganda

Meep! Apperantly Swine Flu is now being passed on to animals. Cats in particular. oh dear!

I wouldn't want my cat to suffer thru H1N1. Oi.... I myself had it in the last couple weeks. Ugh....

**Barkworm** · 11-20-2009, 01:19 AM

One of my co-workers got it last week, she said she was't able to go to the toilet on her own for three days. I really, really hope I don't get this sh*t but schools aren't exactly the safest place to avoid it.
