Swine Flu
"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "
Thomas Jefferson -
Sorry to hear that.
Out of interest, how do you know it is swine-flu and not seasonal flu?
Both have the same symptons and without a blood test and a lab report, how do people know it is swine flu? -
Fair question - you're right, it could be seasonal. just ticks all the boxes for swine flu though"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

One way of knowing is by examining the mucous membrane. Different viruses explode cells and stimulate sneezing in different ways once the cells are RNA or DNA loaded.
It's simply a matter of rubbing some of the membrane between finger and thumb, tasting and then determining which type it is.
Colds and infections do not propogate in this way, so it's easy to rule them out

Apparently the main dfference is that swine flu is somewhat milder, than normal seasonal flu. In Australia, which has had it's seasonal flu, the swine flu has displaced normal flu completely and there were far less deaths than usual.
They expect swine flu to replace normal flu and become seasonal flu.I'm alright JackComment
