Four people are being tested for it here, crap! :cry2
They had this expert guy on the telly last night and he said the wave of it that is going around now is not as strong as the one in Mexico, hence no deaths outside Mexico, but the second wave possibly will be strpnger.

I was reading the paper on the tube this morning and saw this article, some intelligent guy was saying that swine flu will be in London allready the carriers arn't just showing symptoms yet and that the tube was a perfect breeding ground for it. I rode the tube 7 times today! I'll be going from one infected place to another :S I'm now carrying one of those travel size bottles of purrel haha. I was at the zoo today to and noticed like crowding round every other exhibits besides the pigs, poor piggies. I went and said hello though :)

OK!
 
I wouldn't worry about it guys. You know what the media are like - they love to whip things up out of proportion. It makes a good story.:rollseyesIt's very sad for the poor people who are infected, or have died, but I wouldn't let the media scare you with talks of a pandemic. It's probably not as bad as it seems, and even if it is (which I doubt), worrying won't help the situation at all.

There is no point in worrying about dying, after all, we could get hit by a car tomorrow crossing the road. Disease is scary, yes, but let's not panic about it.:):hug:

There was an article in our newspaper today explaining to everyone that the cases in the United States and really anywhere but Mexico are being contained and taken care of and that we really don't have anything to worry about right now. :)

It's worse in Mexico right now because of how many people contracted it before it was caught and they don't have healthcare that is quite like ours.
 
I'll bet you can book a really cheap trip to Mexico right now, lol. They are testing three people here in Florida right now. I'm really not worried.
 
I'm not really scared of dying or anything, I just don't want the icky flu! It's just like any other flu really except an unfamiliar strain, I'm just concerned for the sick and the elderly since there isn't a vaccine for it yet, like they get for the normal seasonal flu.

Oh and 36,000 people died in the US last year from normal seasonal flu, and none from this flu :p

Agreed - I work at a school and illness goes around all the time - the colds, viruses, puke bugs.... Our nurse is keeping us updated but said not to worry from what she is hearing. If you wash your hands - don't shake hands with coughing people who didn't wash their hands, that helps. I keep hand sanitizer at my desk and when I had to use a phone that a coworker who was ill used, I sanitized it and for the first time in the 5 years I have been working here, I did not get the cold or lose my voice. My teachers and students were disappointed - I sound like Mickey or Minnie Mouse when I have laryngitis (not sure I spelled it right) and it's pretty funny.

Many people die every year from the normal flu but people still get it. Its not that big off deal. Plus they have it contanted
