This is getting pretty scary. According to this chart, almost every state has shown widespread activity.

I'd hate to have to still be getting on a subway. They should make everyone wear masks on the trains.
Has anyone besides T Ball had this and how debilitating was it? Well I guess there's not much you can do but
take the necessary precautions. I can't imagine this is going to help the xmas holiday shopping numbers.

I'm pretty sure if you payed attention to your
body and how you were feeling, you could detect it really soon and get the treatment you need.
What sucks for me is that I work at a grocery store as a cashier and I come into contact with hundreds of people each day. There’s even a small clinic in our store. The people who are sick where mask over their face. I refer to them as the “infected”.

There have been a few cashiers to get it.
But there have been more people that work in other departments get it, including the meat market.

There isn't any treatment
Tamiflu is in short supply and they’re only giving it to those who are likely to die or something. So there is a treatment, I guess, but it’s not for everyone.
Apparently the vaccine isn’t either. Unlike other states where they’re sending their vaccine to public health clinics where anyone can go, Texas prefers to send theirs to private clinicians. You’ll have to pay for a doctor’s visit and the shot on top of that. Perhaps they’re trying to kill off all of us without health insurance?

Flu
wfaa had a flu call in q&a the other night with people from Methodist hospital answering the phones. The doctor they spoke to said they recommend anyone who meets the flu symptoms to just stay home as there isn’t going to be much of a treatment and to prevent spreading it.
He said to go to the hospital or doctor if you start experiencing shortness of breath or chest pains.
They only give tamiflu to the high risk extreme cases, the rest of us just have to lay in bed and drink fluids and let it pass. He did say it is typically a mild flu.

Right.
One thing to add, though. They say if you get sick with it, get better, and then get sick again that you should go to the ER. And obviously if your fever’s so high you’re at risk for brain damage you should probably jump in a tub of ice water and call 911.
It may be a mild flu, but I still wish Texas would have ordered more vaccine and re-think their vaccination program.

some drugstores offer the vaccine, just like they do with season flu vaccines
of course that doesnt matter much if they dont actually have the vaccine, which seems to be the case right now.

The doctor I heard
says there are a lot of 8-10 week cycles, but the big wave of them should burn out by march. He was an infectious disease specialist at a local Houston hospital.
He says we are roughly halfway through the long cycle that started back in Mexico months ago.

Lets not overreact here
My son tested positive for Type A influenza a couple weeks ago. His doctor said the only flu going around was H1N1 so she considered it a positive test for the “Swine Flu”. My son never developed a fever above 100 and maybe threw up once.
Per his doctor, it is a widewpead flu of epedimic proportions. However, for most, the symptoms are not as severe as the normal seasonal flu. It should be treated like the normal seasonal flu with Tamaflu(sp) or other antiviral drugs. Call your doctor if any symptom worsens.
From my wife ( a Respiratory Therapist), they are seeing more flu patients in the hospital with respiratory problems. The H1N1 virus appears to effect the respiratory system more than the normal seasonal flu.
I have read reports in the internet that the H1N1 has been effecting a different subset of the population that normally doesn’t get (or have problems) with the flu: teens to early 20s. Some reports have also said that the elderly (or people born before 1960) may have been exposed to a similar flu strain in the 1950s so they have a natural immunity to H1N1.

Your son's symptoms sound similar to mine
Never had a real high fever — when I went to the doctor, it was just under 100 — but real bad chills, and real bad respiratory problems.
They didn’t test me for the flu — I wasn’t in a high risk group, so I wouldn’t have gotten flu medicine anyway — but they said it was either the flu or a viral infection.
I’m still not 100%, almost 2 weeks after showing the symptoms the first time.

Right, it infects subpopulations pretty equally...
depending on your exposure levels. But this is different in that the symptoms seem to be worse in groups that normally handle the flu well.

That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t suck though :) So far 1000 people have died in this country if it winds up being 5000 that’s a lot of people on top of the 36,000 that die on average from the regular flu.

knock on wood
I never get communicable diseases. I eat horribly, am out in public at least 8 hours a day, never sleep, I smoke, etc. For some reason I’m terrified of the flu every year even though in the 33 years I’ve been alive I’ve never had it. Haven’t had a cold in a long damn time either.
I have some sinus issues but that’s it.
All I can tell you is there’s really nothing you can do for sure to prevent it. You could lead a health lifestyle and wash your hands a lot and that would probably go a long way. Otherwise, hope you get just enough exposure to get immune rather than get the disease itself.
The more I think about it, the more I think hand washing is probably most important. I do a lot of that, but I just remembered my grandfather washed his hands constantly and was always saying how he hadn’t had a cold since he was a kid.

I don’t know some people are just more sickly than others. There are some people who are always coming down with something but oftentimes they’re the ones who smoke. or don’t eat well or don’t get enough rest or a combination of the 3.. So maybe I can attribute my good health to not smoking (cigarettes) eating well (lots of oranges) and getting plenty of sleep and of course staying strong with the work outs.

I know several people who claim they've had it
…and one who I’m very sure has it right now up in Ohio.
From what I can tell it’s not as bad as the normal flu, but it varies a lot between people. I know one guy who thought he was going to die but felt a lot better the next day. Another guy said it was like a horrific cold for a couple of days and then he started getting better. A lady down the hall from me said she tested positive for it back in the spring but just had a slight fever and that was it. My friend in Ohio now felt like ass the first day and a lot better the next. Says she’d rather have this than any of the other things she had in the past.
Nobody that I know of said it was the worst thing they’d ever been through in their life, though. I’ve heard that about the flu in past years but not this year, and as someone said earlier there’s been virtually no other strains reported to CDC. All swine, all the time. So far.
But like Cahill says, it’s a novel strain. Nobody’s seen it before and so it’s spreading like crazy. That’s the biggest difference.

They are different viruses. My mom’s primary doctor told her that but was refuted by one of her other doctors. I have a friend in Ohio and she heard something similar from the nurse, but now has the swine flu even though she had the seasonal vaccine. CDC’s website claims the seasonal flu vaccine doesn’t do anything but stop seasonal flu.
Either way good luck finding a seasonal shot now. They’re not even making it anymore.

I think calling it a national emergency is kind of silly.
The point in giving something national emergency status is so that you can funnel emergency funds into the problem. But what are they going to do here? It’s not like they can really ramp up production of the H1N1 vaccine at this point, that should have been done 6-9 months ago. Maybe this helps update the system in place that would deal with pandemic like diseases, but I doubt the government has that much foresight. At best, maybe the money goes to help deal with the increased burdens on the big hospitals (many of whom are setting up tents outside their emergency rooms just for H1N1).
We all realize it’s serious, so it’s not like it’s calling attention to something that’s flying under the radar. At the same time, while there are deaths being reported, it’s not like it’s so much more deadly than the regular flu that it needs to be treated like ebola.
Somewhat interesting side note: For my classmates in the clinics, if you get a confirmed H1N1 case, you have to spend 14 days at home. Which sounds great at first, but then you realize that means you have to repeat that rotation. So most people who get it wear the mask and don’t get tested for it. Ain’t health care grand?

I had it.
I started feeling a little off on Saturday 10/10. I thought I was getting a cold, since both my boys had coughs, but no fevers. Sunday, I woke up feeling OK, but I kept feeling worse and worse all day.
I went to the office on Monday, but left around 2PM for the Doctor. I had started feeling very achy, and my cough and stuffiness were horrible. I tested postive for Type A influenza, which the Dr said was a positive test for Swine since the seasonal flu wasn’t around, and I had already had a Flu Shot. When I was diagnosed, I had not yet had a fever. I was given Tamiflu, since I am asthmatic
My wife quarantined me to our room, and bought masks for everyone to wear around the house. I think I did get a fever on Monday afternoon, but that was it. I started feeling better on Tuesday, and worked from home that day.
Tuesday night, my 5 year old got home, and said he had thrown up at school. He also had a fever, and the wife started feeling bad as well. The baby showed no symptoms, other than a cough he had had for a week. Wife and 5 year old stayed home for the rest of the week.
We talked to the Pediatrician, and the director of the daycare, and they thought the baby could go to school. Baby went to school through Monday 10/19, but had to come home with a fever. He tested positive for Type A influenza as well. He stayed home all week last week.
My wife got hit the hardest, as she felt bad from Wednesday through Saturday. I felt Bad Sunday through Tuesday AM. I don’t think that the flu was all that bad.
Both Wife and I had coughs that lingered for almost 2 weeks, but other than the cough we felt fine in just a couple of days.
