I’ve heard it said that older Americans probably have some resistance to H1N1 because it is simply an adaptation from previous strains. Maybe that’s correct, maybe it’s not. But it would make sense, as this strain seems to hit younger Americans more.

I think I have the flu. Seriously. I mean yesterday it was like I took a sleeping pill and was running a low grade fever. Now it’s up where I can move around, but I am exhausted.

I don’t think it’s swine flu though, I think it’s a cold with the sniffles and sneezes.

I took our 9 month old for his 9 month check-up last week. Our pediatrician is ultra liberal, and she acted like this whole flu thing was/is overblown. The receptionist said the office had been “crazy” with people in panic over whether or not their child had swine flu. We hadn’t been there in 3 months, and we have 10 children. That’s not to say that none of them were ill in the last 3 months, but their illnesses were the normal colds/flus that come each year. I’m almost convinced that we had swine flu go through our household. It started with a baseball coach going to Mexico at the end of February/beginning of March. He was very ill for a healthy 35-year-old. Our son then got sick and was the sickest I’ve ever seen him. It went through all of us and affected some of us more than others.

I don't suppose the longer flu season could be related to the fact we had a cold winter and cool spring extending the season.

Nah, couldn't be. The earth is warming, not cooling, 'cause the computer models say so.
