Oh, you mean that mostly harmless flu that the media hyped to be the next smallpox? I've heard of that. It's supposed to be like, the end of mankind - better stock up some water and medical supplies, mate.

Yep. Spreads slower than the seasonal flu, kills less people per month in the world compared to the seasonal flu in the US, alone.
Lacks the mutative gene commonly found in most influenza virus strains... Pretty weak little bug. Also, I think the US Government over hyped it to get the healthcare bill past, and because of that the WHO freaked out... Oops. ______________________________________

You always get diseases when you have a lot of people gathering. A disease like the swine flu is not even close to being the worst and you will likely get it anyway from somewhere else.
If you are truly that worried about getting diseases, you should avoid all gatherings, never touch anything in public use, always keep your hands clean and don't touch your face with them. Even then you will get sick from something sooner or later.

All true, but the real interesting thing is why the world governments are paying pharmaceutical companies billions for the vaccine against a almost harmless virus.

Keep in mind they only mention one 'doctor confirmed' case. The rest could be people who confirmed they have flu symptoms on the forum and weren't tested at all.

My point being that it would suck to go to fanfair and get stuck in Icleand for a week in november untill your able to travel.
Granted in my case (I have Lupis) Im a bit paranoid about diseases as it is. Its partly why I stoped going to Dragon con because I swear EVERY time I went I caught "Con Crud"

Originally by: Zeromentor Lacks the mutative gene commonly found in most influenza virus strains...
No offence but that's just verbiage. There is no "mutative gene" in any strain of the virus. Influenza is notorious for its tendency to mutate. This H1N1 strain has not, so far, produced any widespread, more virulent, mutation. Coulda happened, could still happen, so far, hasn't. That's all.
Originally by: Zeromentor Also, I think the US Government over hyped it to get the healthcare bill past, and because of that the WHO freaked out... Oops.
Actually, if you look at the effects so far due to this "weak little bug" you'll find that adding a second, new-strain pandemic to the normal "seasonal" flu cycle has pretty serious impact on our acute care facilities. Hospitals get slammed, which is a problem in itself since in many place hospitals are (at best) barely keeping up with normal demand. This is why billions are being spent to ameliorate the effects of the H1N pandemic. No, people are not dying by the tens or hundreds of thousands that we might expect to see if this was, say, H5N1, but the pandemic itself and the strain it puts on our already overtaxed system is A Bad Thing(tm). (And I also imagine that the thousands of people H1N1 has killed found it a fairly serious little bug.)
If the media outlets you use were telling you this was some kind of Captain Trips then the problem lies in your choice of media outlet. The CDC, WHO, etc. have all been pretty much right on the money from the start of this thing and continue to provide good solid information as we enter the second wave of the pandemic. This is a serious problem, just not in the way some people seem to expect.

It's technically called H1N1. It is "dangerous" because there IS no vaccine for it, however it is also reported that only people 25 and under are the most vulnerable to it. It's assumed that this virus is making its rounds again because there is finally enough people without an immunity to it to make it visible. Reportedly, older people don't have as much an issue with. The normal flu kills 34,000 people a year, and this one has the same potential just like any other flu.

"Slower" because of the aforementioned reason; it mostly affects 25 and younger. Also, I don't what you are listening to, but this has no direct correlation to the healthcare bill, nor has anyone used it in such a way. Way to spread lies.

The normal flu that kills people all the time is actually a few hundred or even thousand different flu's, and the swine flu could be included as one of those. But yes, there is no vaccine for the common cold aka: influenza virus, but that doesn't mean it's dangerous. It still has a 99.98% survival rate.

Be wary of what you hear from the WHO. They are clearly trying to scare everyone, and doing nothing to calm people, like you'd expect. They also include 'probable' cases in final infection rates to make the numbers larger, which is bad science no matter how you look at it. And i find it unusual they seem to know everything that's going to happen before it does. There's many other virus possibilities which pose the same or more of a threat. If they truly can predict which strains are going to mutate into more deadly variants and which ones aren't they deserve nobel prizes, because that's considered impossible.

You mean the H1N1 flu that has killed around a 1000 people world wide? In comparison the plain old regular flu kills about 32,000 a year in the USA alone.

I'll just say from what I've been seeing.
The H1N1 virus is weaker than the normal seasonal flu many die from. From what the CDC has found out, unlike the normal flu bugs we have, you need to be in close to the infected persons to become infected, unlike other flu bugs which can carry for quite a distance.
The majority of people that have died also had other health problems... Oh god, that means if I had AIDs or a Heart Disease or somekind of lung problem I'm doomed!! Oh wait, a normal flu might kill me just as fast.
Also, unlike the other more common flus, this one has a problem infesting the intestines. Means there is no "Stomach Swine Flu"... Yet.
And last, unlike other common flu strains that mutate quickly, some from person to person (they can get infected from each other and have 2 nearly completely different bugs) this Swine Flu (aka, H1N1) doesn't seem to mutate much, if at all.
I'm not lying about the part where some US Congressmen tried to use the Swine Flu scare as a way to pass the healthcare bill. Don't belive me? Fine, but the internet is right at your keyboard ______________________________________

But yes, there is no vaccine for the common cold aka: influenza virus, but that doesn't mean it's dangerous. It still has a 99.98% survival rate.
The CF rate for influenza isn't the issue. Doubling (actually slightly more than doubling) the costs of a "normal" seasonal flu cycle is the issue. Those costs include much more than merely a tally of fatalities. The seasonal flu costs about $10 BILLION in direct medical costs each year in the US (and eight times that much in total economic burden, work missed and such). That's not trivial even if it "only" kills 30,000+ people each year. The H1N1 pandemic costs are in addition to those.

Here is the catch 22 in whole flu thing.
IF you spend your life in a bottle you will never get sick, BUT It will make your more susceptible to sickness when you leave the bottle.
In other words you have a immune system and its job is to keep you healthy and the less you work it more likely it will fail when you need it.
It really is a no win situation, and there really is such a thing as too clean can do more harm then good.

The common cold is at worst an annoyance. The influenza kills.
They're both upper repiratory infections so the symptoms are similar. The main difference is the flu causes fever.

In fact, the idiot is you. He never even insinuated that he was using antibiotics to treat the flue. Your reading abilities are astoundingly poor and your abuse of ellipses is pathetic. Two thirds of the diseases he mentions and a full 100% of what you ellipsed out are treatable with antibiotics.

My use of ellipses is entirely accurate.
Quote: Two thirds of the diseases he mentions and a full 100% of what you ellipsed out are treatable with antibiotics.
Irrelevant, since he talked about all three as a unity and insinuates causality between the use of antibiotics and their (all three) not being any worse than a regular cold. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Flue: Part of a chimney, fireplace, furnace, etc. Flu: Short for influenza, an infectious disease.
Treating either one with antibiotics would be pointless, but if you want to pass yourself off as an expert on a subject you should probably begin by learning to spell its name.

The only thing that makes swine flu more interesting is that people with very strong immune systems are at more risk. people with strong immune systems have bodies that over react (aka, the immune response is what is dangerous), which is what kills them thus why under 25's are told to be more careful.

Had the swine flu 2 weeks ago. Was excited, expected media attention, quarantine and being a ressearch object - left disappointed only 2 days in bed, not much worse than last years ago. Didn't even get a bloody t-shirt. At least I managed to get a whole week off work.
4/10 for the swine flu, would only do it again for the week off work

All true, but the real interesting thing is why the world governments are paying pharmaceutical companies billions for the vaccine against a almost harmless virus.
Does that surprise you, Mr.McGregor?

Originally by: Kronossan This summer I've had Q-fever twice and swine flue too (just unlucky hehe), all 3 the times I felt better then last time I had a regular cold. Antibiotics <3
You do know that antibiotics have ZERO effect on flue? That flue is caused by a Virus, and antiBIOtics have no much use against something not BIO ?

While the person you quoted is wrong (antibiotics are used to cure bacterial infections/diseases, vaccines are used to strengthen the immune system against viral diseases), you are even more ******ed. A virus while in the host acts very much BIO, outside is a different thing. The 'Fendahlian Collective' strikes again |
