If you truly think you have it, go to the hospital ASAP. The virus flourishes in young people with strong immune systems. The virus pretty much uses your immune system to attack your own body. It needs to be treated early.

Its not a laughing matter even though 99.9% of the american people think it is.

Actually they are saying if you have it, to call the hospital.  They don't want people coming in right away because it will help spread infection.

So they prefer the infected mingling with society instead of being in a place of containment?

Sorry should have clarified.  They said to stay in your homes, and call the doctor/hospital.

This whole thing reminds me of a book I read a few years ago.  It was called "The Judas Virus".  All I really remember are the broad strokes.  Something about organ transplants, and the influenza virus that is normal in pigs switches over to attack humans.

What it reminds me of is that Stephen King short story where the world gets so dumb that people eventually are even unable to spell, but a bonus chapter was added giving them the swine flu.

I'm not completely sure if that's it. Results from the Orlando reports should be in tomorrow. If there are any cases in Florida I'll go. Probably be dragged there by family...Crap..I'll mis Terra's birthday Friday...(girl i was talking about in that one thread)

Oh well...I guess a deadly strain of flu mutated from pigs is a good reason why I can't attend...
