My Guide to:

Swine Flu, H1N1, or 'Damn Pigs'





Hello, and welcome to the first thread of: My Guide to. Everything here will be about real life stuff, horror, or how to surprise your sisters friend in the shower! This week, I'll be discussing Swine Flu.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

I'll say one thing: Its a #%@! I've had it, but luckily I got rid of before the contagious stage set in. Here are the symptoms:
unusual tiredness,
headache,
runny nose,
sore throat,
shortness of breath or cough,
loss of appetite,
aching muscles,
diarrhea or vomiting.
Isn't that great? Hey, guess I'll go play me some Pandemic 2, name it: Swine Flu. Anyway, now your probably asking, 'Hey, am I in a high risk of Swine Flu? Well, if you watch Obama on TV, or if your in the High Risk Groups:
chronic (long-term) lung disease,
chronic heart disease,
chronic kidney disease,
chronic liver disease,
chronic neurological disease (neurological disorders include motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease),
immunosuppression (whether caused by disease or treatment) or
diabetes mellitus.
Oh yay.
You shouldn't really get those, unless you really mean too. Its always great to get me some cigarettes, drink beer, and eat 30 hamburgers.
Anyway, what you should really do is to actually stay home and keep it cool, dawg. Drink alot of fluids and drink Advil. A lot. Before you reach the contagious stage, call over your neighbor's cousin's girlfriend to help you out.
If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu:

Stay at home and check your symptoms using the National Pandemic Flu Service.
Call your GP directly if:
- you have a serious underlying illness,
- you are pregnant,
- you have a sick child under one year of age,
- your condition suddenly gets much worse, or
- your condition is still getting worse after seven days (five for a child).
Also, remember that you can have swine-flu without a fever.

That's an informative guide, however I'm not sure if Swine Flu really counts as horror, since it's just as bad as the normal flu.

Don't get the vaccine.
Judging by how quick they're pumpin' 'em out, they haven't really researched any long-term side-effects. I'm predicting an "I Am Lengend" turnout.

Yeah, we already know the FDA is taking some liberties on passing it just to make sure it gets out "on time" rather than going through a lengthy trial process to make sure it's safe. I'm not getting it.

Aren't they the people who give out MRE's after hurricanes? If not, then who?

Probably FEMA. The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. They're the ones that verify whether or not products are safe.

So I've heard!

A girl my age in my city recently died from it.

The only "underlying" condition she had was asthma.

Actually, the majority of people I've heard that have died from it ARE about my age. We're in our prime and probably the healthiest we'll ever be.

It worries me. I don't have any conditions other than hypoglycemia, but my fiance has heart problems. I'm being careful and washing my hands more frequently regardless.

What was her diet like? You can be "healthy" and still have a crappy diet like most people do. Not getting the proper nutrients from you diet and eating too much junk can put you at risk for complications from moderate illnesses. Also, asthma is a serious condition and all it takes is something like a cold or flu or allergy to aggravate it. It's easy to die when you can't breathe.

i lie the fda just slightly more than i like peta if thats any indication. they get payed off so easliy just so they can give some crappy food the go ahead.

i also think that people were overreacting to swine flu. people die of normal flu all the time. i think that the media just wanted to frighten us and make it seem worse than it was/is.

ill continue to wash my hands the same amount and continue to eat food off the floor when it falls. im not letting my immune system suffer by always disinfecting everything. ive lived my entire life like that and i hardly ever get sick with colds.
