Swine Flu news and updates thread

Thanks so much for freaking me out lol. I woke up yesterday with a horrible cough, fatigue, fever,runny nose,diarrhea(TMI i know lol) bad chest pains to name a few. I normally dont get sick...5 years since ive been sick, so this worries me. I live in Alabama and another thing that bothers me is that a friends husband just recently got back from Mexico.....

The facts are as follows.

Europe...

Spain 1 confirmed, responding well to treatment... 3 unconfirmed.
Uk none confirmed
Germany none confirmed
Turjey none confirmed
China none confirmed
Australia none confirmed
NZ none confirmed

Lets stick to the facts and not be drawn in to the press frenzy. That is exactly what they want us to do.

Im not saying this isnt seriouse Im saying lets be factual and wait and see.

respects

If you are in any doubt get to a doctor, If your friend came back from MExico you just never know,

I would avoid work too untill you are feeling better,

Really?

Is there a source for this, it is very worrying if one in Spain has died

I found it odd that the Vatican experienced the recent quake...quite outside of the high activity realm.
And today....Mexico City......and swine flu....hmmmmmmm..this is alot more than a damned coincidence.

One way to keep the border patrol busy....infection..border patrol overruled by the WHO...
There is no trust here.


Peace...

BBC stating it was a 5-point, no significant damage and it only affected a contained area.

Looks like it was just an inconvenience more than anything to be very worried about.

I would recommend getting checked out. You owe it to yourself, your family and anyone else you may come into contact with.

And now they are saying on CNN breaking news that an Earthquake just hit Mexico - WTF?

Incredible timing!

HAARP?

I've had a bad cough for about a week and a half now with mucus coming up and a runny nose. Haven't had a fever or any other flu symptoms, so I don't think I have it.

I had a bad flu about a month ago and I just wanted to sleep for days, it was so bad that I didn't want to move my hand to get the controller on the table next to me to change the channel. It lead to mono and lead to a weakened immune system as I got pancreatitis afterwards.
