kennyboy 1 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 The majority of people who catch 'Swine Flu' suffer from mild symptyms. More Coldlike than Flulike. Those that have died, so far, have had underlying medical conditions. In a 'normal' year upto 35000 Americans, that's right 35 thousand, die from flu each year in America alone. There is no doubt that in the Autumn, early winter, more cases of 'Swine flu' will occur. 'Swine flu' is similar to what most fellas feel when they have a Cold. Whereas 'Flu' leaves you f**ked. So if you have the energy to shout at the missus to get you a cup of tea, It's a Cold or 'Swine Flu'. Get it yourself you lazy fecker! If you cant shout or even think about drinking anything then God help ya! You got real old fasioned Flu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 There have been a couple of cases of people dying who do not have underlying health problems. I really hope we don't catch it in my house. I'm the looker-afterer. If I get sick, there isn't anybody to look after me, never mind three kids while I'm flat out. A regular cold I can cope with, but I've had proper flu a couple of times now and it floors me completely, never mind something as virulent as this is supposed to be.

billbroon 9 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dont go near anyone u think might hav it or heard hav it because it is easy to catch but tends to go for people with health problems. If u get any symptoms just phone (NHS 24) but am sure u will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
