Phoenix Wright Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/un_un_swine_flu It seems we are at a point where Health Organizations are calling this a pandemic, or an epidemic if you consider all countries. According to the article, it also appears to be able to live through summer temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 My friends and my mom have had some sort of flu at varying times since the "pandemic" started, and I'm not sick yet. I'm not that worried. The media's trying to panic us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Many health experts said the world has been in a pandemic for weeks but WHO became too bogged down by politics to declare one. In May, several countries urged WHO not to declare a pandemic, fearing it would cause social and economic turmoil. At the time, WHO said it would rewrite its pandemic definition to avoid announcing one. interesting semantics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fëanen Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I think that most people with decent health and health care need not be more concerned than with regular flu. The word pandemic is such a scare word, but in developed countries (hell, even in undeveloped countries if you're lucky enough to be within the upper classes) this will be for most of us just another flu. Does it suck? Yes. Should you lose sleep over it? No, I wouldn't say so. Proceed as normal, keep clean, and if you're sick get treated. Note that I'm neither a doctor nor scientifically minded. I just think that panicking is silly, especially when the situation is overblown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Eh, I'm not really all that scared yet... Although it's probably only like that because I haven't heard of it reaching anyone where I live, yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Swine flu, you say? Yeah we've had some problems in the UK with it, but nothing serious, from what I can tell. Nobody's died over here, at least I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaxyWaxy Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 im not really scared, sure its bad to get, but the normal flue is worse (so i heard) Wash your hands and dont lick strange things and you should be fine. this, definitely :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reganis Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I'm not at all worried about it. I know people who have it and they say they can't tell the difference between it and the normal flu. The media's just making it sound worse than it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyvernSageLord Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Mom's been sick, but thankfully it ain't Swine Flu. But still, we can survive it, can't we...? I mean if we're all the right age, and all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It's just a flu, but a bit worse. Several of my friends from other schools have gotten it, and they only needed to take some five days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 im not really scared, sure its bad to get, but the normal flue is worse (so i heard)this, definitely :P The fact that this virus can survive in warmer temperatures is alarming. When we get a fever, it's supposed to help kill off invading pathogens (and pathogens we are currently fighting). If this virus doesn't die from a fever like other pathogens, it can be very dangerous. I believe it is a stronger mutation. Mom's been sick, but thankfully it ain't Swine Flu. But still, we can survive it, can't we...? I mean if we're all the right age, and all...Anyone with the right amount of medical attention can survive the flu. It's just a question of how late you go, or how early you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
