Sorry you experienced this. Not to minimize your illness, but was it any worse than a ‘normal’ flu where 50k+ people die every year? Granted, you were dealt the bad card, but didn’t the gov hype it? Standing lines in bad weather, doling out vaccines to the ‘privileged’ classes and all that. I’m really glad you’re here.

Best place for info on flu stuff:

PANDEMIC FLU INFORMATION FORUM
http://www.singtomeohmuse.com/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=e7c7f0d63333122f537d3e51b397002e

Links at the top of the page have a lot of very good info. The guy who runs the site is some kind of molecular biologist (or something like that) and knows of what he speaks regarding flu virus stuff. And he is not a leftist nor is the main moderator.

So-called H1N1 flu is not over. The fat lady has not sung. I had it mostly likely twice (it is called a “low reactor” which means the vax doestn’ work very well and you can get it more than once) and it is a bitch of a flu. There are serveral strains of it circulating, in Eastern Europe there are changes in it which make it replicate in the lungs, which makes it much more of a killer. This is not over and pooh-poohing it doesn’t change objective reality.

BTW, the “36K people die a year from flu” is not a real number and the CDC finally admitted it a couple of weeks ago. The 36K number is statistical modelling that says more elderly people die in the winter than in the summer, supposedly.

Tested flu deaths a year run between 800 and 1200 a year.

The article above is nonsense.
