Swine Flu

04/29/09 1:25 am | #1

i don't really know everything about what's going on, but it sounds pretty scary. seems it's spreading a little more quickly than uncle sam wants to admit. there are 152 casualties in mexico. the virus is now present in north america.

Unattributed Quote:

The new strain is an apparent reassortment of several strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which analysis at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified as a strain endemic in humans, a strain endemic in birds, and two strains endemic in American and Eurasian pigs (swine).

i've heard that it's more fatal for people between the ages of 25-35.
the young and elderly aren't as affected.

with all the hospitals and medicine around me, i could care less.

well, we have medications that they believe will lessen the severity of it, like tamiflu, but what happens when more and more people come down with it? we don't actually have a vaccine yet.

I'm kinda worried about it, but not really. I heard it spread into New York, some people were hospitalized.

I blame Aaron. But uh, I'm not really worried. All this talk of a pandemic kinda scares me though.

true, nobody in the US has died from it as of right now.
it IS circling though, and it's kinda scary.
not trying to freak anyone out. just throwing the topic out there.

I'm sick as fuck right now. When I went to the doctor she asked me if I'd been out of the country, but I haven't. I know the chances of getting it are minuscule but I'm worried about getting this shit with my immune system already inhibited.
