October 13, 200916 yr I just found out that two students at the church/school I work for were confirmed to have the H1N1 virus this evening. Please pray for these students and all the people they may have come in contact with. On a good note, this was a 3 day weekend, so hopefully that limited SOME additional exposure to the virus.

I hope nothing terrible happens to them (besides having the flu). I believe U of I has had 700 reported cases thus far though, not sure on that number as I just heard it from someone. But I do know that it is quite a high number.
October 13, 200916 yr I had swine flu, it's not all that different than the normal flu, you just feel like s*** more than you usually do with the normal flu.
October 13, 200916 yr it's the flu. this years strain. just sensationalized by the media. big flippin' deal. I'm just so over all this swine flu bulls***. If you can show me numbers saying that this virus has killed more people than in years past, maybe I'll change my mind... but I think it's just a way to sell papers.

October 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) Swine Flu You f***ing beat me to it. That blog summarizes my feelings on the whole thing.
October 13, 200916 yr Also, nearly 20% of canadians and more than 40% of mexicans admitted to hospitals for swine flu in their countries died. Haven't seen US stats yet.
October 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 05:35 PM) And this is why this year is different. Could this possibly be explained by everybody freaking out at the first sign of a cough because of what the media has told them? (That's a serious question btw, not me being a smartass).
October 14, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) Swine Flu The amount of non-old/infant aged people dying from this is very abnormal.
