i guess he means the fact that there is no real cure for cancer so if you get it..your a goner...GET IT?

There's no real cure for any of the flu strains either--meaning there's a very real chance that it will kill you, as it does to millions of peopleannually, globally--GET IT

Yes, I live with somebody that has had it.

I felt like I was getting sick for about 2 hours but then it faded away. I was kind of shook cause i refuse to get that shot.

Just get your immune system right. Take those %1600 Vitamin C's, drink alot of orange juice. And make sure you dont allow your mental to get all ****ed up,thats where you can do the most damage.

bingo

just stay away from each other, wash your hands a lot and make sure he does the same. If you're really insecure then just roll out for a few days

 

[whateversclever]

shouldn't he be sent home from campus if he has the swine flu? i thought colleges did that in order to prevent a break out in the school

 

[utvol23]

To the people saying that the swine flu and the regular flu are the same thing. I have already proven in another thread that they are very different in thatthe swine flu is killing otherwise healthy young individuals.

As for the OP have your roommate wear a mask or if he wont you yourself can wear a mask. Also keep your hands washed frequently and avoid touching your handsto your face.

Not necessarily this is diff from the normal seasonal flu. This flu is killing healthy people ages 18-65 whereas the normal flu usually kills the young or those 65 or older with other comorbidities, but most people will recover fine.

Really and what makes you an expert on this topic to cross out everything I wrote?

post an article or some other source of info on this and I'd be glad to take it back

Sure thing: From uptodate.com only accessible to physicians and other healthcare workers with a subscription, but I will include the references so you can try to find them. Just being a physician in general I think I would be a little more informed on the subject.


The number of deaths among 302 patients hospitalized for pandemic H1N1 influenza A in the United States was highest among individuals aged 25 to 49 years, followed by individuals aged 50 to 64 years [16]. The number of deaths according to age group were:

• 0 to 4 years - 7 (2 percent)
• 5 to 24 years - 48 (16 percent)
• 25 to 49 years - 124 (41 percent)
• 50 to 64 years - 71 (24 percent)
• ≥65 years - 26 (9 percent)
• Not reported - 26 (9 percent)

Of 272 patients requiring hospitalization in the United States for pandemic H1N1 influenza A between April and mid-June 2009, 25 percent were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and 7 percent died [48].

Seasonal influenza results in higher mortality rates among patients with certain chronic medical conditions, as well as in pregnant women and those at the extremes of age. Although during the current H1N1 influenza A pandemic there have been higher mortality rates among patients with certain underlying medical conditions and in pregnant women, the age distribution of fatal cases has been different from what is observed during seasonal influenza epidemics. In the United States, the highest mortality rates have been observed among individuals aged 25 to 49 years. Few elderly individuals have been infected, which may be due to some degree of preexisting immunity in older individuals against antigenically similar influenza viruses.

In the hospital currently we have multiple young patients struggling to survive on the ventilator and most of them very perfectly healthy prior to contracting this strain of flu.
