Swine Flu Info Blog

I started with a small tickle in my throat this morning and now I have a complete soar throat with slight nausea after taking some daytime Tylenol. I just wanted to know if there are any recognizable differences between the regular everyday sicknesses and the Swine Flu so you can easily say for yourself that are have the Sine Flu virus. Serious answers only please.

H1 they would both have the same haemagglutinin (type 1)...whereas the neuraminidase would be different (type 1 for H1N1 and type 5 for H1N5). Both of these viruses are the same virus but they just have different antigenic determinants in the case of the neuraminidase.

Because my friend says they are the exact same thing. I really want to know what Normal flu is called as far as numbers go like swine flu is A H1N1
