My buddy goes to Miami Oxford in Ohio, and as of a month and a half ago his school had over 3000 positive cases of H1N1. He had it, along with his GF. She was in the hospital for a week. He said he was just sick as shit for about 4 days, then he started feeling better. Colleges are going to be hit the hardest obviously. I hope I dont get it, Im not really that worried about it. Wash your hands often, and dont play beer pong lol.

 I had it a couple weeks ago.  Not a big deal, I felt shitty for a couple days, stayed home, slept a lot, and I was back to normal within a week.

I think I had it. I don't know the symptoms of it, so maybe I didn't have it. I was really, really tired, with like almost a 39 C fever(Don't know what that is in fahrenheit for all you Americans) for two days, had a gnarly cough for about 5 days, and then I was all good.

I'm not getting it either.  I'm not gonna help pave the way for a super virus that's gonna wipe out the world because it evolved to be immune to antibiotics and vaccines.  Humans as a species are getting more vulnerable to diseases because there is less of a need for immunities against many diseases.  Imagine if we stopped taking antibiotics or vaccines.

i don't know what the deal is. i don't know anyone who has it. i have although been sick for almost a month, but no real symptoms, just off and on kind of thing...aside from that i got a pamphlet in the mail and i just sighed once again at how seemingly ridiculous this is to me.

I'm getting the vaccine here in Australia to come to America. everyone going over on our or team or from our school has had it very strongly recommended.

It's not a pandemic because of the numbers it has killed, they're only a little big higher than the normal flu.  It is a pandemic becuase it is targetting a different type of people, being pregnant woman and healthy people it is having hte most affect on.

so many people at my school are out because they are sick. only a few though have been because of the swine flu, me included. people at my school are panicking about the swine flu but yet so many more people are getting sick with the regular flu.

About 90% of you probably just have the normal flu.  Don't bother with the vaccine either, i'd rather fight it off naturally than take thermerisol in my blood, which i've already done.  I started to get it and just got good sleep and took a lot of vitamin C and other herbs and beat that shit in one day.

[img[http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2009/10/21/image5404580.gif[/img]

that's from this article which talks about a CBS case study where they tested a few thousand people in various states and the highest rate, in florida, out of all the people diagnosed with H1N1, only 17% of them actually had it: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/21/cbsnews_investigates/main5404829.shtml

wtf is the government/media trying to do with us? wake up and stop listening to the propaganda.  there's flu's every year, this one is just more catchy.

haha, that's because most people dont' actually have H1N1. most have the regular flu or a bad cold and the doctor diagnosed them wrong or the person just assumed they had swine flu because of the media hype.
