Maybe they shouldn’t be putting 40 patients in the same room breathing the air and germs of a Swine Flu patient??

Just a thought.

I’ve been dodging trips to the doctors office for 6 months now, the odds of my catching anything in the swamp are slim to none. I had to renew one of my prescriptions the other day, the doctor wasn’t happy that I handled it over the phone. Doctors offices and hospitals are pestilential pits of infection, you only risk them as a last resort. If Obamacare passes it will get even worse!

Run and shout run and shout. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. This is the end of the world as we know it......

You’d think that this ‘outbreak’ was a precursor to the plague. So Tamiflu doesn’t fight everything ——oooooh nooooo. Whoever thought it did?

Exactly. Such hyperbole and drama.

There are a couple of FReepers who seem somewhat obsessed with swine flu.

They actually expressed what appeared to be disappointment when I said I had it and had no intention of getting it again - or taking the vaccine.

They regaled me with dire warnings and stories of people who had gotten it twice almost as if they were wishing this on me.

Sorry, folks....I said it before and I'm saying it now....I ain't gettin' it again. ;-)

Health officials say a Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has spread between hospital patients.

That's just a shame! But hopefully the news will reverse the pounding my BioCryst stock has been taking.

agreed it happens often that people that went to a hospital got more ill after the visit.

So Dr told me I had swine flu...gave me Tamiflu and in 4 days I was pretty much back to my normal self. But what’s this about getting it twice??? Wouldn’t we be immune...or maybe it was misdiagnosed?

Hmmm

well of course if we overkill with some miracle drug....a resistance might occur...doesn't this happen with bacteria as well?...(MRSA...VRSA?)

why don't we let almost all people get over the flu by themselves....why are we prescribing meds that for all intents and purposes perhaps shortens the flu?.....

swine flu and Tamiflu are big boondoggles of big pharma.....

there is flu...probably is swine flu....

but remember, we were told 20 yrs ago that all of AFrica would be dead becasue of AIDS.....

we were told that HIV would infect every heterosexual person....

rest, vitamins, good diet and plenty of fluids....so hard to remember...

I have heard from reliable sources that once you've had it, you are immune. But there are some flu-obsessed FReepers who insist otherwise and they'll argue relentlessly with you on this. (I just gave up.)

Did Tamiflu even kill off the cough quickly? My other symptoms only lasted a few days, but that cough went on for about three weeks.

I was so glad to finally get over that!

What???
I beg your pardon!
The sky is NOT falling.
And I should be an expert about that.
