Swine flu update
It don't look good.
 And there is no vaccine for the Swine Flu as just told on Channel 5 KTLA news. |

In 1976 the swine flu was discovered at Fort Dix NJ. They attempted to make a vaccine but the side effects were not favorable so it was abandoned. Rest and plenty of fluids. There are two drugs that will help getting over the flu and not all require this drug to successfully combat this flu. Like any sickness, rest and fluids are the best medicine.

Why would they expect there to be a vaccine at this stage? Flu mutates constantly, so new strains are bound to emerge. Pigs can also be infected with both the human and avian influenza. This swine flu strain appears to contain genetic elements from all three. It's going to take a while to develop a vaccine.
Swine flu is apparantly resistant to two of the common used drugs, namely Amantadine and Rimantadine. The H1N1 swine flu viruses are very different from human H1N1 viruses. Therefore, current vaccines for human seasonal flu will not provide any protection at all. However, a little bird, who is usually right on the money, tells me that a seed vaccine has been specifically tailored to this swine flu and will be manufactured if the CDC deems it necessary. |

Stop being paranoid. 30,000 people die of normal influenza in the US in a regular year. Swine flu has managed to kill only 20, and the majority of patients survive. This isn't massive respiratory collapse, this is just a slightly stronger flu.

I heard that the vaccine of last year of the flu, gives partial or better,makes the imune system of the person more resistent becuase the vaccine has also the H1N1, since this new type is a mutation of this! Do no know if it's true! |

The death toll has been overstated. I'm suspecting some panic here and over-reaction. The 1976 outbreak at Fort Dix NJ appeared and dissappeared in a month.

Incidentally, I am sick as well, though It's been diagnosed as nothing more than the normal flu. Meh.

Well I was listening to the radio and swine flu is a misnomer. Nothing to do with pigs.

I suppose if we have a full-blown pandemic tomorrow, I will be better off because my immune system is currently busy fighting off some bacteria.

Its very simple,
Pigs Now Fly with Birds, Like the Common Flu, Give Pigs More Antibiotics, Plus Birds, In Feed? Creates a New Virus, Passed to Humans with Low Body Protection? like the Weak? It will Kill a Person like you and me, Unless detected early. This bug is Now in the Air, As I Work with A Rescue Service, We are on High Alert, This is Worldwide, Making A Joke Of It here Sickens Me, People Die from this, Lets Pray a Relative of a member here does Not
