Only oversold if you haven’t contracted it. Hurts like living hell. Didn’t seek immunization & still would not have given it to do again, enlightened.

My husband had swine flu in the summer and was a pretty sick guy. He spent some time in the ER being re-hydrated, and was on antibiotics for a secondary infection. Not nearly fatal, but not a walk in the park either.

Our sons had the opportunity to be vaccinated through the school district a few weeks ago. The lines were long, and by then most of the wave of fall flu cases seemed to have passed, and we skipped the vaccine. We assumed that vaccine supplies would start catching up now and that if the ugly bug got uglier there would probably be vaccine available. So far it seems like we've made the right call. Herd immunity should be on their side now too, since a large number of their schoolmates stood in those long lines or endured the flu already.

You must have a REALLY low tolerance for pain.
It wasn’t that bad. I know at least 20 people who had it. Tested positive. It made you really tired but anyone could function.
