bay girl Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I dont think we've had any confirmed here in AUS yet, but we've had a handful of suspected. Ive just come down with the flu yesterday morning, so YAY. LOL. If i grow a curly tail, i'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well, I have flu symptoms. I haven't been to Mexico, and I don't think you can transmit human disease via the internet, so I don't think we should be panicking just yet. I found this amusing though: If you've got flu symptoms, and you've recently been to a high-risk area like Mexico, CDC officials recommend that you see your doctor. If you have flu symptoms but you haven't been in a high-risk area, you can still see a doctor -- that's your call. ...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm a total hypochondriac so this whole "swine flu" thing is totally stressing me. I'm driving my parents nuts! Someone came into my work yesterday coughing and I was like "Ahh, swine flu!"... All the media hype around it really isn't helping my stress levels. Though I am taking comfort in the fact that there are no confirmed cases in Australia, and that no one has yet died from it outside Mexico. Think positive people!

stephyrose4 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I have to admit, this whole Swine Flu is freaking me out abit. The reason why I'm freaked out cos it's in NZ now. I mean really? NZ? Were like one of the smallest countries in the freakin' world! But the thing is we've got to look at the positives... - No-one outside of Mexico has died from the disease. - We do have TamiFlu pills which helps. - We have caught the disease before it gets out of hand (Well um, maybe?), and we know what it is, so the people that make anti-virus medicines, can start planning on how to make it. There's way more positives, but really? I can't be bothered writing them all out.... I think the world is just having a huge freak out because of the flu epidemic in 1918, and they don't want to have another huge outbreak of a killing flu. But its changed since 1918, we have so much more medicines and such now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzazzb Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If you've got flu symptoms, and you've recently been to a high-risk area like Mexico, CDC officials recommend that you see your doctor. If you have flu symptoms but you haven't been in a high-risk area, you can still see a doctor -- that's your call. that's gold! was it on the internet? i was a little bit worried, but with all the high tech medical equipment they have these days, and the fact thaat any a handfull of people in the world with it, i'm pretty confident i'll be ok; but still, no-one else is coming near my drink bottle or sneezing on me!

emmasi Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, I think I've got a flu, so I decided to look up swine flu symptoms: http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/news/200...lu-faq#symptoms My being sick could be a blessing in disguise. With everyone panicking, perhaps I can get myself "quarantined" at home, as in away from uni, for many many weeks, just to be on the safe side...
