What exactly are signs of the Swine Flu? Everything I’ve seen said the signs are no different than any other flu... just a different virus strain.

low grade fever, upper respiratory distress, aches, pains chills, sore throat, tender lymph glands. The usual.

Sick for 3 - 4 days. Infectious for 7 - 10 (even before you present with symptoms).

Then you are fine. (statistically you WILL be fine.)

Some sadly will die. But folks die from a lot of HxNx viral infections, even a ‘hanta’ virus (cold) can ‘kill’ some.

...more inflammation in and around the lungs after a few days of other symptoms.
