They have no cure for any flu. They have a vaccine that will protect against a handful of strains and they try to predict it, they get it wrong A LOT. Swine Flu is like any other flu, only difference is we haven't been exposed to it for centuries so we have no natural immunity to it. BUT, Tamiflu and other antivirals are working on it wonderfully. So if you feel sick, spike a fever, have body aches(your typical flu-like symptoms) go to the doctor. They'll swab your nose, if you have Influenza-A they'll culture it and you'll be under quaruntine and put on Tamiflu.Originally Posted by Jess3103
The basic flu that WE as the United States of America get a shot for each "flu season". Last year there was over 34,000 deaths JUST over the BASIC FLU! So here is a flu that they have NO cure for..and your not worried?!?!?!?!?!
It's no big deal. We have more than enough antivirals to treat a big outbreak. Those most likely to be affected are the elderly and the very young.
You need to remember there less than a hundred CONFIRMED cases of Swine flu in mexico, the rest is assumed. And on top of that, there are only 7 confirmed deaths related to swine flu. The media likes to change things and warp them. Only 7 swine flu deaths, not 152, says WHO | smh.com.au
This flu has a LONG way to go before it's as bad as what we see normally every year. But hey, I'm looking forward to the histeria. It'll hopefully shut down my workplace and I'll get some extra time off :P
