Six Scots pals catch swine flu during Ibiza holiday as toll hits 1217 - The Daily Record

Thats a story about some of the guys I know

If the flu mutates and comes back this fall we will have something to worry about. Otherwise I don't think this particular virus will amount to too much. They said that it is missing a key componet that other flu viruses have, which make them highly aggressive/contagious. If this does mutate and gain that key componet, then we will have something pretty big to worry about.

Someone at my school (who I didn't even know existed until this happened) caught swine flu. Naturally, some newspaper wrote an article on it and interviewed a few parents. The opinions gathered were all along the lines of "why would I be worried? It's only a 'flu."

kev · 08-05-2009, 01:13 PM

Just back from Greece and 1 of the girls I was on holiday with has it. All 8 of us have some form of bug...away to the doctors tommorrow to see what the score is and whether i have it or not

HappyDay · 08-05-2009, 02:55 PM

I thought I have it because my son came back from holidays in Spain and I felt 2 days later very sick.
But it was only a cold

GILSAN · 08-05-2009, 03:21 PM

Here in Madeira Island we had the first 9 cases in the past 3 weeks, all of them from people coming from the UK. It seems the UK is ridled with the flu.

randomo · 08-05-2009, 03:39 PM

I just heard that Germany might delay the new school year by two weeks due to swine flu fears. (Apparently, many Germans who vacationed in other countries brought the bug back.)

HappyDay · 08-05-2009, 05:50 PM

Yes its true. There is a discussion currently about this.It was also in the newspaper yesterday.

turnhardtoeasy · 08-05-2009, 06:34 PM

This is getting more and more intense....
Another girl from Pune - India dies of Swine Flu !

Emma1 · 08-06-2009, 01:32 AM

Lucky we have no more news of outbreak here in the Philippines.

**-Nick-** · 08-06-2009, 01:53 AM

Not worried

Will worry when I feel some symptoms. Till then its all great going for me.

MrSammillington · 08-06-2009, 04:09 AM

No matter how much i try i just cant worry about it, in fact i am so unconcerned about it i just can believe it. I suppose the way i look at it as you can loadsa folk die from normal flu where is the scaremongering media with that? Pretty soon it will be forgotten about and people will be like yeah i had the swine flu.

Exactly, like an ordinary flu

but the fact that after a couple of days if you have no vaccine of it then you got the flu, they say you can die, that alarms me

The "swine flu" has moderate symptoms and a very, very low mortality rate.

jgalty · 08-08-2009, 04:03 AM

I'm not worried really. A lot of people die from the regular flu every year.

Gx Bravo · 08-09-2009, 09:22 AM

Not too worried

DaSerpent · 08-09-2009, 09:45 AM

I am not .. I believe in destiny .. if its written that il get sick and Die LOL then I WILL .. no one or nothing can stop that from happing.
So live life King size

YoNames · 08-09-2009, 12:58 PM

We had two guys at work who had swine flu, one had is really bad, the other just shrugged it off like a normal cold. You have nothing to worry about as long as you dont have a heart condition or you're really young/elderly.

I've been in contact with them (before I knew they had it) and I feel fine... *cough*

On a side note, me and a mate started openly talking about swine flu at work the other day in loud voices, and you could see the fear ripple accross the crowds as people started turning their heads and whispering to each other. It was so funny, we fell behind the desk and laughed our heads off for about ten minutes. Giggles

gchick · 08-09-2009, 10:03 PM

funny cause when I replied to this thread, I said I'm not too alarmed about the flu. But now, I have the "flu" symptoms and I was thinking if I got it...off to the doctor tomorrow if my fever wont go down.

arundecent · 08-16-2009, 11:37 PM

Its around 150 odd people in my country today and 30 odd in my area.. Am worried now ...

It's been 7 days since you posted this, I hope everything is ok

Swine Flu is a scam.

36,000 people die from the flu every year in the USA.

Of the hundreds of strains of flu, the chance of you catching swine flu is almost zero.

I nearly died from two strains of the flu in 2003, neither were the swine flu.

I recommend not getting flu shots either, rather build up your immune system so when you are exposed to pathogens your body can naturally defend itself.

***Corey*** · 08-19-2009, 12:10 AM

^ scam?

Digital_Designer · 08-19-2009, 04:11 AM

We should always live carefully.Wash hands,wear clean clothes etc. and do exercise.It will save us from flues etc.
