I'd rather have them tell me about these things than pander to the masses and say that everything is fine.

Yes causing panic is bad, but not having any information at all is worse don't you think?

I wonder just how ugly H1N1 will get this flu season. Hopefully we have a dud season and people come out fine, then they can put these fears to rest like West Nyle and SARS.

I agree that we will be seeing a whole lot more of shock media reports on this in the very near future. As they begin the mandatory vaccinations and what not.

Bet you any money they'll start in the schools.

I cannot agree with using scare tactics to coerce the ignorant masses into taking a dangerous vaccine.

There is a big difference between unbiased factual information and blatant fearmongering propaganda by the WHO.

They better get that vaccine distributed quick.

Seriously, I've been traveling for a few days now, left LA in California yesterday, but I was already starting to feel really bad, so far everything I have tried has made it worse. I have never felt anything come on this fast and intense. It feels like a combination of the worst cold and worst flu that I've ever had.

I have to go to San Antonio and Dallas Texas, need to be there on Monday. So do I risk losing my job by warning my contacts there in advance, or just show up and hope for the best?

Well, so far one good thing has come from it, I can't smoke anymore, it feels like I'm inhaling a mist of highly corrosive acid, it burns and cuts off the ability to breathe, coughing makes it worse... With any luck I'll die before Monday.

Consider yourselves warned.... Texas.

Nah, its just another bad summer cold, right?

I don't have time for tests or doctors, in this economy the job is my top priority.

I've been worried about catching this bug because I travel, until now I thought H1N1 wasn't a big deal.... I could have caught it anywhere between Maryland and California... If that is what I have.

Guess I'll find out one way or the other soon enough.

If this is what I have, If I had known I could get the vaccine beforehand I would have taken it... It's that bad.

Forgive me, I need to go puke.

I had the flu pretty bad just last weak. couldn't even speak. After a few days off work I feel like new again, and I never even took any flu shot.

WHO is putting the fear of God in people

Only if you let them.

Death comes in many ways, why worry about only way to die.


Walkwithfish, hope ya get better soon.

Isnt the point for the World Health Organization to keep things rather calm, rather than turning everyone into a mad man? The WHO and UN are the last two organizations that should even be stepping in as medical advisors recommending whats good for us. Doctors have said that this virus shouldnt be as bad as they are upping it up to be...It is propaganda! Everytime I hear the words WHO- its followed by how serious and how many people will die. Even though it contradicts all the info already presented. I'm not saying this virus should be taken lightly- but clearly this is b.s. and they have a secret motive to scaring the hell out of the people...Like giving them the vacines. These vacines already contain traces of mercury which in kids can prove to cause autism.

No needles. No vaccine. Even better would be no WHO or World Organization. I refuse to believe that one organization can monitor, recommend, and assist any and all countries during a flu like this. Not to mention how sketchy this h1n1 virus is already as I have my mind that it had to have been created in a lab as a biological weapon....

People need to wake up and see who's really looking out for you and who just wants more money stuffed into their pockets.

America doesn't take orders from anyone but America.

Thank you, I managed to drive 662 miles today, left at 4:00 AM this morning, and I am now stopped at a rest area 57 miles from San Antonio... I'm not feeling any better, but I have a job to do, I stopped because I could no longer focus on the road, my lungs feel as if I have been inhaling crushed glass and I am trying to cough it up, my head feels like it is going to explode and just before that my eyes will pop out of my skull. I feel like I am dying, in my 40+ years of life I can't ever remember feeling this bad. Other than that I feel fine.

If I live through the night and make it through the day tomorrow and still feel like this or worse I will do something about it, if I miss my appointments tomorrow I'm a dead man anyway, some choice eh?

Life goes on, for now.

It is nice in this part of Texas, If this is the last place on earth for me, then it ain't so bad. This is what it looks like outside of my window right now...




Adios



PS, if I turn up dead from this and it is this damned pig virus, consider taking the vaccine, you don't want to learn what this really feels like the hard way.
