Gravy, what's that about? I have been down with it for a couple of days, and certainly don't plan on having it for as long as you, however I have heard that 90% of people fighting the flu today are quite likely to have symptoms of H1N1. Yay. Basically they are like other flu symptoms, you just tend to get them ALL...at once:( Ugh, yes the "name" from the comment above is right I suspect - it has certainly hit P.A.janethttp://Websitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-65700701375321661782009-10-28T14:10:05.000-06:002009-10-28T14:10:05.000-06:00Isn't H1N1 a relatively mild flu?

Let's just say if I had a list of people I would love to tell them how I feel - the news would be the top....<br><br>The H1N1 flu has different severitys - along with any flu. Sometimes it can kill (and has killed several hundreds already) and sometimes it means a couple of days of feeling under the weather or sometimes the person just becomes a carrier with no symptoms.<br><br>It's a pandemic because of the number of affected people - has nothing to do with the severity. What has the news all in a twitter is the cases that have resulted in death - which have for the most part been relatively young people in good health prior to be infected (and they like to work everyone in a panic and create headaches for those that actually work in a particular field, but again I degress - it's been a long couple of months and man oh man do I hate the news with a bit of a passion.........)Just A Girlhttp://Websitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-88731832157637292502009-10-26T20:03:12.000-06:002009-10-26T20:03:12.000-06:00Regarding this flu that you suspect just might be ...Regarding this flu that you suspect just might be H1N1 could be... I have just gotten over the same type of flu as has my son. Just horrible, really, and boy, does it ever last a long time. I hear it has hit P. A. now. Glad you are coming out of it though.

I was at my Doctor's yesterday, only because my place of work requires a Dr.'s note by day 3, and he was saying that approximately 4,000 Cdns. die each year due to the flu. Typical media hype has indeed taken things to a new level of unnecessary panic. I'm sure many would share the same soap box.janethttp://Websitenoreply@blogger.com
