Information on Swing Flu
Ok This isn't a question about swing flu, more of a public announcement since everybody seems to have a lot of misconceptions. Ok, I will answer this appropriately, and I can asnwer this with authority, as I am actually an expert in epidemics and pandemics. What people don't realize is the fear of swing/brid flu is not the flu as it is, but rather what it could be. The spanish influenza was a mutated strain of bird flu (so theorized) that became airborn and also became more virulent. The threat is not so much what these flus are now, but the danger that one of these animal vector flu's will mutate like the Spanish influenza did, become A. completely airborn B. incredibly virulent and C. an indiscriminate killer, i.e. kills adults as readily as the young and the old. The problem is they have to start taking precautions every time a possibly virulent strain erupts. If they don't and they wait until it mutates then it will have spread so fast and so far by then that any measures they take will be nil and void. If a superflu occurs again, with transit as it is the deathtoll will be in the millions. These are just precautions that have to be taken to try and control the damage when a new superflu goes epidemic. And I do assure you, its a matter of when not if. As for the symptoms of swing flu, they are the same as the regular flu. I don't understand people asking for the symptoms os swine flu, they are the same as regular flu, and you have to go to the doctor to get tested to see if you have the regular flu or the swine flu. It is a good idea to get tested, because the swine flu is slightly more dangerous than the regularly flu, and you will also wish to seek treatment because the symptoms are just worse and more miserable in general. Pardon the spelling error, i did this on my iphone and predictive text changed it to swing, I didn't notice. For the record in the idiot who that out, its pretty obvious it wasn't a spelling error. As swing is not a spelling error so much as the wrong word. Only a petty person would bring up something like that which was obviously just an oversight.

Why do people keep giving bad facts about the swine flu
This is the third surfacing of the Swine/Spanish flu in the last hundred years, each time we're getting increasingly better at fighting it off. It's a virus passed just like any other virus. You won't catch it from Porky you got hanging out in the backyard. It carries human, avian, and swine genes. Eating properly cooked pork products will not make you sick. If you practice proper hygiene, like you should have been since you were a kid, the risk of spreading and/or catching the Spanish flu is cut almost in half. Half of a slim chance is pretty damn low, if I do say so myself. So, future reference: Throw your snot rags out. Don't touch the table/doorknob, then put your nasty hand in your mouth. Wash your hands. Wash your kids hands. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze. Avoid contact with your coworkers/children/friends for 24-72 hours, minimum, after the onset of symptoms to cut down the chances of passing it to your loved ones.

Is this swine flu really from pigs or a lab
Is this swine flu really from pigs or a lab? They are telling us that this swine flu has been with pigs since 1918, when the first Spanish flu came through. According to wikipedia, the Spanish flu was recreated by scientist in the mid 2000's by using frozen tissue samples of people who had died from the virus. "On January 18, 2007, Kobasa et al. reported that monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) infected with the recreated strain exhibited classic symptoms of the 1918 pandemic and died from a cytokine storm"- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu... Time frame? pigs have had it since 30's, we have recreated it a few years ago... To add to this, CBC Canada reports that "The CDC in the U.S. said on Friday the new strain is "a very unusual" combination of human genes and genes from swine and avian flu viruses found in North America, Asia and Europe." - http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/... hmmm... OBVIOUSLY I realise what they are TELLING us.. I'm asking if anyone thinks outside of the box and actually thinks about things logically??... Is this swine flu really from pigs or a lab?

We caught it from them originally. Do you not find it strange that a few years ago the Spanish flu was reconstructed in a lab and now it is out? Or do you REALLY think that the pigs have had it since 30's and we have only caught it now?

Why dont American people want to have a free health service
I don't understand why you rather pay thousands of dollars when something happens to you instead of paying more rent and having it for free. May be the feeling it's changing now, you tell me. It brings many advantages. For example, what do you do with the swine flu, if someone without insurance, someone unemployed or even a homeless, starts to feel the symptoms? It is too expensive for them. I think you have some kind of charity health for homeless, but if you had free health care, anyone could go and you wouldn't be such a risk for the rest of the world. Of course you are not the only ones without it. The third world countries don't have in either. But they don't have democratic governments or money. You do. So why exactly don't you want that kind of service? I know Obama has spoken about establishing it. I hope he does. You'll see the benefits. In my country, we have free health care even for illegal immigrants. They can go without calling the authorities. That way we make sure they are healthy and they don't carry sicknesses that disappeared from here years ago or sicknesses that have never existed here. Also, some time ago, when an american came and have for example a heart emergency, they could have an operation for free. That was heard in your country and loads of americans came to get free things at the cost of us, spanish. So we now transfer the expenses to your insurance and if you don't have, I'm not sure what it's done. I suppose you have to pay it anyway. That's the fair thing to do. But if I go to Belgium or any european country and have and need a doctor, we don't have to pay because we all have free health care. The expenses are transferred to our country health care, in my case, Spain. Which is not next no Mexico, by de way. Yes, it's true, you have to wait a lot of time before being treated. But if you have enough money and you don't want to wait you can go to private clinics. But if you don't have money, but if you don't have the money, you wait and you recieve the treatment. In your case if you don't have the money you don't get treated just as the kid in the film John Q.

Swine flu Spanish flu
Ok the Spanish flu started off in pigs in farms around where I live over a hundred years ago, it took about a week for it to really be a big deal, this swine flu was "found" on the 27 or something like that, the symptoms are the same so far and I'm wondering COULD the swine flu be the heir to the 1918 1920 pandemic from Spanish flu ? there both H1N1 A viruses and well could it have come back out of hiding ? you seen the same thing with the Ebola virus,which is child's play compared to The Spanish flu,not only did it kill more people than small pox and the plague combined but it spread easy from person to person, NO joking around guys I need to know because more people than normal are sick at my middle school and I've had a REALLY bad migraine for a few days now and feel like shit really weak a sore throat a bit even though I've HAD the flu shot this year and no not the so called "vaccine" for the swine flu, could it be I caught something ? my symptoms are getting worse each day -_- help I've also had a lack of appetite and am eating less than I normally do and yet I've been dehydrated lately and am thirsty alot

Swine flu a pandemic
Honestly, I don't see why everyone is so crazed about this. I understand that it has killed a lot of people (if you count under 100 as a lot, for a disease), and I understand that it is linked to bird flu. But here's the thing; it's unlikely to become a pandemic, it's possible, but highly unlikely. It's only a strain of H1N1 (which is what the Spanish Influenza was), but we're already on H5N1 in some flu cases. The last outbreak of Swine flu in the US was in 1976, it didn't kill so many people. The vaccinations - apparently - weren't so great and ended up killing about 1 in a million people, although the virus killed less than that. I also understand that this outbreak of swine flu has had proof of human to human transmission, but I believe that some forms of the bird flu is as well. Furthermore, swine flu is a strain of H1N1. The human population has already dealt with this virus (not this specific one but close enough). H1N1 was the Spanish Flu of 1918, generally the people that survived were genetically immune to this disease because of their Major historcompatibility complex (MHC). On that note, most humans today should have the ability to withstand the swine flu. I get that people are concerned with getting the disease, but the symptoms are mild. It's not like the immune system is attacking itself. It looks like the symptoms don't last too long either (on average). So doesn't calling this a pandemic a bit far-fetched?
