Oh yeah, there's a lot of people getting swine at my school. No one has even come close to dieing yet, and apparently you just hang out in the heath center for a couple days and watch TV until you get better.

Swine flu has been around since the early 1900s. The cases this year has resulted in less deaths than any other normal flu of the season.

Wash your hands, cover your mouths, and if you are sick, stay home and get rest.

Is it really that shocking that a gathering of thousands of people from all over the continent in one convention center ends up spreading some sort of sickness? :p

Before y'all start panicking, remember that swine flu isn't the massive killer the morons in the media made it out to be, it's not much different from the seasonal flu we usually get. That being said, the flu always sucks so stay safe everyone and I wish a speedy recovery to the unlucky ones.

I had swine flu and got over it in about 4 days, seriously its no worse than the normal flu and vastly overhyped.

Common flu kills around 42,000 people annually from what I understand.

But, who cares?


EVERYBODY PANIC

The only reason it's worse is because it can spread a lot faster.
