I'm not freaking out.
sort of
not me I only eat fruits :D
I'm just concerned for the health of my 14 month old baby girl... It scares me
I'm not. It's just like any other flu.
in Egypt a lot of people are afraid but I am not
you have more chance getting hit by a car than getting this flu
More chance you'll die from food poisoning. Not at all worried.
I am really worried.
me yes i'm concerned
i go to mexico every once a month
Many.
People die all the time of regular flu.. the only thing different from this one is that it has a name.
im not worried about it cause if it happens to me it does but i am watching other people im putting myself around
i'm not sure i am "really afraid". i am definitely concerned. and i think anyone who knew any history of this type of thing would be too.
So far, no I'm not scared or worried. I'm only going to get worried if it starts to spread rapidly and its killing alot of people.
I'm absolutely terrified.
I'm not religious and i cant help it i cant force myself to believe
im crying now as im so scared
I was, but personally, living in Britain, I feel it's all just media hype.
However, if I was living in Mexico City right now, I think my opinion would be different.
Until it spreads to where i live, no, not really. However if it did spread here, i think i probably would wear a mask or refrain from going out in public.
I'm afraid I don't want to die 6th grade @ Zundy are going to San Antonio and I want to go so bad we are going in May 14,2009 and I already have my stuff pack not my shirts though.
im not. people are saying the flu is going to wipe out half the population, but thats all just bull to me. to prevent it you just need to have good hygene and i do. so im not worried of gettign it.
Yes, i am concerned but, i think the media has blown this way out of proportion. They are the ones scarring everyone to death!!
Just wash your hands a lot and do use a sanitizer when water is not available. Stay away from crowds etc.
Yes many are afraid there are dumb people walking around withs masks on there face. Looks like there diseased anyways when they wear those. But yeah people don't want to turn into pigs,then you will have to eat from a troft.http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/art/PigArt.j...
One of the kids in my children's school has type A flu, and we are awaiting the results of the swine flu test. Does anyone know the likelihood of it being swine flu? The school is open and the child is recovering well...so not that scared, but certainly concerned!
I'm alittle worried about it, i work around alot of people everyday and I have recently moved back in with my mother to take care of her, she has no immune system so if i get it..........she surely will. So i am trying to take extra precautions so I don't get sick or get the swine flu.
I am not scared at all, I am healthy though, and wash hands etc a lot. now, but my friend ashliegh, is FREAKING out, and using so much hand sanitizer, I wanna puke... (well now, wasn't that ironic LOL)
no, not scared, and even if you did get it, I think the news people are blowing it wayyy out of praportion. it is a flu.=D
A little bit worried. I'll be more worried when it spreads to all over the world, to every country. I didn't get SARS though when I lived in China at the time, so I'm not too worried about this virus either.
I am a bit concerned though. I'm glad I live in Finland because here we have taken all the safety precautions and are prepared for it. We have enough medicine and free health care. I just hope the spreading stops. In the mean time, I remain calm.
I'm just gonna try to keep up with the updates about it, so I know how bad it is.
I'm as wary and watchful of it as any other flu. I'm sensible but not crazy over it. Like any other flu, yes, it can be dangerous. And also like any other flu, many people end up getting better.
I'm keeping an eye on myself and my family and we are washing hands reasonably, but above and beyond that, we're staying calm.
What the CDC and Health Department knows is so different from what we are hearing in the media.
The virus is infectious for about 2 days prior to symptom onset. The virus sheds more than 7 days after symptom onset (possibly as long as 9 days). This is unusual.
Since it is such a novel (new) virus, there is no "herd immunity," so the
"attack rate" is very high. This is the percentage of people who come down with a virus if exposed. Almost everyone who is exposed to this virus will become infected, though not all will be symptomatic. That is much higher than seasonal flu, which averages 10-15%. The "clinical attack rate" may be around 40-50%. This is the number of people who show symptoms. This is a huge number. It is hard to convey the seriousness of this.
- The virulence (deadliness) of this virus is as bad here as in Mexico, and there are folks on ventilators here in the US, right now. This has not been in the media, but a 23 month old near here is fighting for his life, and a pregnant woman just south of San Antonio is fighting for her life. In Mexico, these folks might have died already, but here in the US, folks are getting Tamiflu or Relenza quickly, and we have ready access to ventilators. What this means is that within a couple of weeks, regional hospitals will likely become overwhelmed.
There are 10-25 times more actual cases (not "possible" cases -- actual), than what is being reported in the media. The way they fudge on reporting this is that it takes 3 days to get the confirmatory nod from the CDC on a given viral culture, but based on epidemiological grounds, there are more than 10 cases for each "confirmed" case
right now.
During the night, we crossed the threshold for the definition of a
WHO, Phase 6 global pandemic. This has not happened in any of our lifetimes so far. We are in uncharted territory.
President Obama will declare an emergency sometime in the next 72-96 hours.
It appears that this flu produces a distinctive "hoarseness" in many victims.The symptoms, in general, match other flu's; namely, sore throat, body aches, headache, cough, and fever. Some have all these symptoms, while others may have only one or two.
Not me, but i'm in the fire service and everything like this goes to a code 6. That's when the states will start handing out drugs to everyone just to make sure it's not gonna spread, that's when people will really start freaking out because they will think since the government is giving away the "antidote" for free, there really is a problem. But don't worry you can fight swine flu the same ways as regular flu. But right now we are at code 5, so look for code six in the next few weeks.
P.S. - Don't freak out though, it will be fine, it's not the black plague.
I'm not worried @ all! I mean people-be serious! This isn't at all like the Yellow Fever Outbreak in Europe, years ago! This is just a different type of flu! According to the cdc website, only 149 people have this disease in the US so far. Just think about the millions of people in the US. 149 is barely a fraction of the population. PEOPLE JUST NEED TO CALM DOWN!
