Understood.
Just bear in mind that the flu virus and its direct actions are not what kills most people, it’s complications from the flu such as pneumonia that kill you.
If you look at the CDC’s advice to clinicians regarding this H1N1 “Swine flu”, it’s really little different than for any other winter time flu. So despite the media hype, this variant is no ferocious people killer compared to other influenzas.
As I write this my school has 17 kids in the med room wearing masks. 6 or 7 have already been sent home. My first period class had 9 kids out, out of 26. Don’t think I’m not worried about this. The fact that this spreads so quickly worries one of our science teachers as he explained that the virus molecules tend to attract other molecules in warm weather and don’t linger in the air. This one seems to act the same way as a winter virus in its ability to spread.
