does a swine flu party like a chicken pox party actually make sense?

It seems to me that right now the death rate is very very low (at least in us) and being in NYC I personally know a teacher from st francis prep and he said all the students infected where fine after 48 hours most after 24 hours.

So i am thinking perhaps it would be prudent to purposely infect oneself with this variant of the swine flu and build up immunity or rather get the body used to seeing this type of virus. So that in case this flu takes the route of 1918 flu and comes back a year later much more mean and lethal having already been exposed to this variant of it one should fare better against the virus.

What are your guys thoughts?

I have thought the same thing.

My daughter and I have had flu symptoms for two days and are already getting better. Swine? No idea. Not serious enough to goto doc.

We had fever, sore throat, vomiting. My daughter it went to her chest, not me.

I am already better. I was hoping it was, so I was already exposed,lol

Have had my daughter out of school this week so far to be safe.

It it was though, I have had flues that are worse that last longer. My temp 1 was 100. I had them goto 104 with a bad flu. Last night I did feel like hell, but much better today.

There's an existing and ongoing thread regarding this angle of the H1N1 virus.

Should we WANT to get H1N1 flu??

Please add your thoughts and opinions to the thread above.
