Whats the symptoms? Is it going to kill alot of pregnant woman and children? i don’t want to leave my house, that stuff is scary. Ive never gotten a flu shot. is this one really important? By the sound of it there is not enough shots to go around anyways.
Well..My family and I had it and it was just like the regular flu..I mean we were sick for about a week and then recovered..I think the media is digging around to find those few people who had developed complications with the flu and reporting it..I really think they are causing people to panic..but I know its scary..makes you just wanna lock your doors and never come out of your house..but we have to live our lives you know.
At my GP surgery you aren’t allowed in the place if you have any flu symptoms.
I have had flu symptoms for 7 days now, and I’m not getting any better. I have not at any point had a high temperature though.
The pandemic flu website will not diagnose swine flu unless you have a high temp.
So its not swine flu, but I can’t go to the doctors because I have flu like symptoms.
How can I get some sort of diagnosis? I’m due in work tomorrow, I don’t think I’ll be well enough, but I’d like to be able to tell them whats wrong with me.
Will NHS direct be of any help (or are they too over burdened for me to be bothering with something like this)
Or am I best ringing the GP surgery tomorrow, can the GP diagnose me and issue a sick note over the phone?
It sounds like you have some sort of virus and if there have been no change to symptoms after 7 days then you need to see your GP. Just explain to the receptionist that you have been symptomatic for more than 7 days- there is no real risk of you being contagious after this period and it does not sound like you have or have had swine flu.
Your GP will likely examine you and and if you are not presenting anything concerning, tell you to come back again if symptoms are still present after 2 weeks in which case he will likely do some tests.
Influenza is a global condition that affects millions of people every year and is responsible for a large number of deaths and an even greater number of hospitalizations worldwide. This isn’t a condition where only third world countries experience fatalities where Australia experiences between 2500 - 3000 fatalities which is far greater than the average yearly road toll (around 1600-1700). This has actually decreased from the original 5000 from a decade ago.
The emergence of better and even more effective Flu Vaccinations in Australia has had a direct impact in the reduction in the number of deaths and recorded illnesses in the general population. It’s been proven that residents who acquire an Influenza vaccine have a greatly increased chance of making a full recovery from Flu related illnesses.
People are now educating themselves in the affects of Influenza, and are also exposing themselves to massive amounts of information due to the Internet and other methods of advanced communication. With so much tainted and incorrect information to sort through it is understandable that the average citizen finds it difficult to find the truth. In order to become fully informed about Influenza and each effective preventive measure, it’s important to become educated about the Flu and Flu vaccinations.
Here are some important facts -
The Influenza Virus is the instigator of an infection caused by the flu (Three types: A, B, and C) and is extremely contagious. Its main method of spreading is from person to person by way of moisture droplets that contain the virus. It’s also spread by touching someone with the Flu or touching virus contaminated surfaces. For example; if you touch the same surface or touch an infected person, you increase the risk of contracting the Flu.
The Flu can and sometimes does cause death and is responsible for about 15,000 hospitalizations in Australia every year, particularly among risk groups. It’s estimated that there are about 1.2 million Australians under the age of 65 who run a high risk for contracting the Flu. Flu related illness or death is more apparent with people who suffer from chronic conditions and diseases, especially those who suffer a combination of heart and lung disease.
Flu symptoms include: High fever, sore throat, dry cough—sometimes severe, muscle aches, headaches, congested nasal passages, and extreme fatigue. A low percentage of around 20 to 50 percent of people working the in health care industry actually receive an annual Flu Vaccination despite the fact they are in the high risk range of spreading the disease. It’s a proven fact that getting Flu vaccinations every single year is the best means of Influenza prevention.
You can implement measures to protect you and your family with a little time, patience and research to become educated about the influenza Virus. Additionally, it’s important to learn about and beware of the myths surrounding the Flu including the following: Influenza vaccines may actually cause the Flu; and the Flu is never a serious illness—both of these statements are complete myth.

The Alex Jones Show 2/2:Hour 2-National Guard Swine Flu Vaccine Riot Drill
I have some questions about the influenza a virus. all i have found out from searching the internet is.. influenza a is a type of bird flu and most likely to cause pandemics.. if she is positive for influenza a, does this mean it is h1n1? here in missouri they arent testing for h1n1 unless the patient is in critical condion and needs to b hospitalized. Is Influenza a they worst type of flu. ive never known there was so mant dif types. I thought the flu was the flu. my daughter is 5mo old. I also have an 18mo old daughter, who is starting to show the symptoms of the sickness, and a 4yo boy. how in the world do i keep them from contamination,
I tested positive for Influenza A on Monday, and I asked every question possible when I was with my doctor.
The influenza A is associated with the many strains of swine flu. It does not mean that you have it, but when swine flu has become a problem in your area, it is understood to be swine flu. It is contagious for up to 48 hours before symptoms start to show up, which is why it is spreading very quickly. In my town here in NC, the local Children’s Clinic is seeing 50-60 cases of it a day, and they still aren’t testing anyone unless they are hospitalized, either.
There are many strains of the virus, and it is hard to tell which is worse. There is only one form of B, but many forms of A. B is much more rare to have, and since the form that is widely spreading now is A, and I don’t think that one is necessarily worse than the other. The way you are affected depends completely on your immune system, and it varies from person to person.
To keep them from contamination, you need to keep them at least 10 feet away from each other at all times. Before picking up one child after putting one down, wash your hands. Keep their hands clean. If one has it and breathes/coughs on the other, they could catch it. If your 18 month old is starting to show symptoms, I suggest taking her to the doctor right away also.
I hope the best for you and your children! Try to stay healthy!

Influenza is an acute, highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract associated with high morbidity and mortality. Diagnostic testing for influenza should be carried out when the results will influence a clinical decision. It is easily spread by aerosol droplets or by direct contact with contaminated surfaces.

New World Order Vaccines for Profit and De-Population
There is a Power Elite who are in the final stage of bringing about a Global fascist government they call The New World Order. They run the central banks, major corporations, and funding organizations like the Carnegie Institute and the Rockefeller Foundation. Their operations are planned and carried out by the CIA upon the orders of the secret government; these decisions are made by a Mafia-like Board of Directors known as the Trilateral Commission, a group of wealthy industrialists and Wall Street bankers. Oil barons and political dynasty families like the Bushes and Clintons are found among the members of the New World Order’s political wing, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) which is a group whose purpose is to obliterate national boundaries to create a one-world ruling elite. In other words, CFR activities are completely treasonous to the U.S. Constitution, yet for decades almost all presidential candidates have been CFR members. Their goal is to put an end to the United States of America and to make the country a part of their global government scheme. They are modern Nazis who have evolved like a virus and who have refined the arts of subversion and treason right in front of the noses of the American public.
The boss of bosses, the chairman of the board over the past several decades has been David Rockefeller, who has long been working on the problem of overpopulation. To get control of this matter, the World Health Organization goes into third world countries and uses techniques such as inoculating the population. Their health, my health, and your health are the last thing they care about. In fact, their long-term intention is to reduce the world’s population drastically without destroying all the resources. The Swine Flu has been studied by scientists who concur that the virus is the product of some gene-splicing of 2 human influenza strains and one strain common to pigs.
In the 1920s American medicine was monopolized by the John D. Rockefeller family, who also controlled Standard Oil. They, along with I.G. Farben, Germany’s leading industrial organization, held the monopoly on the world’s chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The Rockefellers and I.G. Farben worked together before World War II and during World War II. Another profiteer at that time was Prescott Bush, the Wall Street banker and inside trader who did business with Nazi Germany even after it became illegal in 1942. He was also a U.S. Senator (to this day Americans haven’t awakened to the fact that their politicians have enormous conflicts of interest whereby they can profit from the legislation they write) and he passed the torch to his son George H.W. Bush, who used his family fortune to further the fascist blueprint to consolidate power.
In 1976 George Bush Sr. was named Director of the CIA as reward for his treason against the U.S. during illegal operations, most notably his first kill, the very successful operation and coup d’etat in 1963 when he coordinated the assassination of John F. Kennedy. JFK was initially placed in power through an election rigged in his favor by his tycoon father Joseph Kennedy, and he was expected to toe the line and lead the nation according to instructions from the Wall Street cartel. Unfortunately, President Kennedy decided to become a man of the people; he was about to disband the CIA and withdraw advisors from South Vietnam. CIA operative George Bush senior was ordered to gather a team to carry out the assassination. One of the two snipers who actually did the shooting for Bush was E. Howard Hunt, who later made the news as one of the Watergate burglars. Lee Harvey Oswald had infiltrated the CIA to provide information for J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, enemies of the CIA by pretending to be a Communist double agent. His connection with the FBI was discovered and he was told to be in Dallas that day by his CIA handlers so they could set him up as the accused assassin. The propaganda machine went into full swing to capitalize on the nation’s fear of a Communist plot by Russia to kill their leader. Oswald was then mopped up by the Mafia, who were represented by terminal cancer patient and mob club owner Jack Ruby. To this day, there are people who still believe the story that Oswald was able to shoot from above and behind JFK and miraculously hit him in the throat and forehead.
Profit in any business comes from a big markup. The possible leader in this field is religion, where no raw materials are needed - just advertising and some costumes and sets. The rest is gravy and the donations come in after a good preaching session. The next is drug-dealing, where there is a ready market due to boredom, depression, or fear. There is suspicion that heroin and cocaine are not just the inventory of foreign cartels; the political power of having crime rule the streets is perfect for those wishing to impose a police state in a land that boasts freedom but still haven’t resolved the Civil War. Furthermore, the inflated gas gouging and mortgage crisis are steps in the plan to impoverish the middle class. The fight to survive will keep the population busy while the noose tightens. Young unemployed people will be easy recruits for the military, who need bodies for the endless wars of “freedom”. Back home, fears of plague and terrorism are designed to get the citizens to give up their freedom for security. This used to be called “protection money” by the Mafia. “We’ll protect you from people like us” is the sales pitch.
The Illuminati regard humanity as a race of “useless eaters” (that’s the power elite jargon) and they have a plan for us: exploitation and elimination. US Government defense contractors like Litton Bionetics were responsible for the production of the AIDS virus, a man-made disease used for bio-warfare and “population control” - a polite term for genocide. The ruling elite have conspired throughout history to profit from war, disease, and other human miseries and thereby gain total power - and enough resources to control the world. The Nazis planned for it, they even had a term for it - “neue Ordnung,” which means New Order, New World Order. This efficient-sounding New World Order is in fact the rise of the Fourth Reich.
After World War II, useful Nazis like Werner Von Braun were spirited out of Germany in Operation Paperclip and brought to the U.S. and became citizens instead of prisoners. Some were experts in biological warfare and neurological agents. Their work included manufacturing mutant flu viruses and that work continues expanding as explained by Dr. Leonard Horowitz in his book “Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism, and Toxic Warfare” where documentation proves that the Power Elite uses a continuing strategic propaganda ad campaign through mainstream media where they promote “public health” to promote slow death. Florida congressman Alan Grayson proclaimed that the Republican healthcare plan was “Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick die quickly” he was interviewed by Bill Maher and Maher corrected him by saying the plan was to get people to die slowly. Lingering health problems bring much more money in than rapid death, and industries have to expand - including the health care and insurance industries. The deductibles alone could build a hospital behind every Starbucks on the continent.
When I grew up in the 1950s we lived in fear of atom bombs, polio, and TB. My parents had just been through military service in the war. My mother was based in England with the RCAF and my father was wounded in the invasion of Sicily. As I grew up, inoculations were frequent and routine; the biggest fear of the day was polio. The vaccine was a success to the relief of all. There was also a terrible fear of tuberculosis, so we were given BCG to avoid getting TB at school. There were flu shots every “flu season”. Those fears were seen as justified but they have set a pattern of blind faith in taking preventative flu shots when we are told that it’s good for us.
Fast forward to 1969 when I was in the Army and being transferred to a NATO base in what was then West Germany. The troops lined up and we were given an involuntary inoculation called T.A.B.T. which made everybody sick for two weeks. I never heard anything about it again, and we were never told what it was for or what was in it. There was no opting out; the shot was immediate and mandatory. It turns out that there was a morbidity report written in 1956 concerning this inoculation from several doctors from the Royal Air Force Schools of Recruitment and Training suggesting all sorts of infectious conditions resulting from the interference with the immune system, and they recommended discontinuing the vaccine cocktail that held ingredients like Salmonella typhi, Salm. paratyphi A and B, and tetanus toxoid. Thirteen years later this stuff ended up in my shoulder in case the Russians came to sneeze on me.
The American military has invested heavily in stealth technology for weapons. Inoculations have evolved and they are in effect stealth technology injected straight into the body to enable the medical industry (not to be confused with the medical profession) to hit their immediate profit targets by supplying nation-wide vaccines, and to secure follow-up profits treating the chronic conditions caused by the interference with the immune system.
With the lure of huge immediate profits and the future capability to manipulate human health, the accepted routine of the flu vaccine has itself evolved into an institutionalized money pipeline. This marketing plan is designed to create a need for long-term care for its victims. With cold-blooded calculation, the corporatists supply health insurance and medical services to profit from the suffering of the American people.
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 states that the Geneva Conventions are “not a source of judicially enforceable rights” and the Military can arrest and detain any alien, (whether individually or collectively) that have been determined by the President or the Secretary of Defense to be a lawful enemy combatant or to be deemed in collaboration with an enemy. The Act could be a legal basis for detaining anyone re-defined as an enemy of the government and stripped of their U.S. citizenship.
It would make sense that if someone is sick and takes medicine that makes him feel better, a healthy person shouldn’t take it or else it will make him sick. I believe in the validity of Western medicine for the most part, probably because the doctors can repair almost any god-awful condition in which my body arrives. On the other side of the world however, the Chinese approach to medicine is holistic - the result of six centuries of keen observation. They understand that the body is a holistic system and illness is often an effort to rid the body of old and dying cells in order to produce new ones. Tampering with the immune system for every virus, especially after it has mutated is a waste of time and money except to the corporations that sell millions of doses to the governments in lush contracts so the state can brag that they have taken measures to contain a pandemic when in fact they are simply creating another national scare to move tons of worthless concoctions.

Swine Flu Scare - Old Lies of the CDC (short version)
When we think of plagues, we think of AIDS, Ebola, anthrax spores, and, of course, the Black Death. But in 1918 the Great Flu Epidemic killed an estimated 40 million people virtually overnight. If such a plague returned today, taking a comparable percentage of the U.S. population with it, 1.5 million Americans would die. In Flu, Gina Kolata, an acclaimed reporter for The New York Times, unravels …
Over fifty million people died when the Spanish Flu swept the globe in 1918. The virus attacked the young and healthy, dealing a crippling blow to a world still reeling from the horrors of the First World War. It wormed its way into communities large and small, killing mercilessly, before abruptly vanishing without a trace in the summer of 1920. That was then. In 2005, scientists completed s…
Approximately 30 trillion US dollars in global wealth evaporated during 2008. GCC investors were not excluded from the fray. The prevailing sentiment of the past decade was that the region’s oil resources would keep the GCC economies on an unperturbed expansion. Ultimately what has happened, the plunging economies have led to an abrupt drop in demand. The subsequent commodity price fall was exacerbated by speculators (hedge funds) clamoring for the doors. The oil and other industrial commodity producers will take time to adjust to the reality. That means adjusting revenue expectations, rationalizing head count and justifying exploration projects based on unsustainable price assumptions.
Similarly, investors are righting the directions of their personal ships. They are de-levering and taking shelter in defensive sectors like health care, infrastructure and food. Without a doubt, a critical factor to the market turnaround will be corporate and investor confidence in the global economies. With millions joining the unemployment ranks, the magnitude of bailouts increasing and the proliferation of recession globally – all the world needs is a pandemic to bring what little momentum was building to a grinding halt Assuming that fear is controlled and the ramifications of the swine flu outbreak are manageable, there are three main themes investors might should embrace as they build their investment strategy:
1) De-lever: with credit card rates above 20%, reducing debt is the best guaranteed return available
2) Choose defensive sectors: healthcare, basic consumer goods (food, hygiene, entertainment) and infrastructure (given government spending plans) will provide solid though not sexy cash flows and returns to investors
3) Don’t try to time the turnaround – dollar cost average your way back into the market. There may be some volatility, but 3-4 years from now, you’ll have a cost basis that will be the envy of your bowling team.
Good strategies, discipline and patience can safeguard assets and enable you to accumulate wealth. When everyone is afraid to invest is when you want to be building your foundation in the market.

I work at a grocery store in Ontario, Canada. I run into people being sick all the freaking time. Some customers even sneeze on the money, then pass it to me. (Gee, thanks) Or they cough without covering their mouths. (Disgusting)
Last night, for some reason, it just kind of hit me. I’m stuffy, my throat is a bit sore, Im sneezy and my sinus’ feel like there on fire. I looked up the symptoms for the stupid new ’swine flu’ and yippee-kay-yay…I have the symptoms. So what happens to me? I stay up all night because Im scared Im going to die in my sleep. lmao. (Im paranoid..I know)
So my question for all you is, what are the chances of me having this stupid virus, could is be just the ‘normal’ flu?
I know I will be keeping an eye out on it and see if it worsens…but in the meantime, Im working monday 4-9 and I don’t know what to do…
aha Paul..”you are going to die”
thanks for lightening up the mood there!
You are going to die. However, as 13 people in the entire country of Canada have been confirmed as having the H1N1 virus so far I think you might be coming down with one of the rhinoviruses instead - more commonly called ” a cold “. Worrying about it will probably cause more harm. You are going to die - but probably not anytime soon.
ok so im a bit worried about the whole swine flu epidemic, pandemic, ultrademic or whatever you want to call it right now but there has been a case of it were i live(i live on a small island known as waiheke island in NZ) and the family was quarantined and if i remember there was a case in auckland to, so im wondering is this virus as dangerous as they say it is.
What are the symptoms of it id like to know
There are better websites to go to find out these answers than YA. This place is full of second and third hand hearsay and would be throw out of Judge Judy’s court in a New York second.
If the NZ public health authorities don’t have a web site of their own you can always go to the US one below.
