I am very worried about it especially if it keeps spreading because I work at a supermarket wich I have to interact with people every day and im affraid there could be some people that got infected that would go there. But hopefully this thing wont spread a lot and die away.

Hello arcidy , I have read up on this type of influenza. I am not worried about it any more than any other type of influenza. I will just do what I know to do to avoid contracting the flu.

not really, i think they will be able to combat it. it is not like the spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 because they didnt have any sort of anitbiotic to combat it. its hard to say what will happen. it is a good thing that countries and hospitals are taking precautions now though.

I am not that concerned about it. There is only 1 case of it in the entire county that I live in. It is also just a flu, it is not like it is not treatable. If I or someone in my family gets it, we will go to the doctor and get medicine and rest and drink plenty of fluids until it goes away. It is not like it is deadly or anything as long as you do what you are suppoessed to do to get better. If it was deadly I would be more frightened of course.

Swine Flu - Swine FluSwine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by
those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV),
Hello my friend arcidy Ji, There are many thing to get worried. Why only swine-flu. I think, these wre befor one's birth as well. I may provide you with anti dose. [b]"Just close your eyes and think, whatever is to happen, it will happen naturally, no one can stop, then why to worry at all"[/b] What is swine Flu:-Swine FluSwine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect pigs. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia ..... Just do not get motivated. Keep off from such thinking. May God bless you and have a great time.

I'm concerned and hoping that I be able to do what need to be done to ensure I don't get it and all works out well for all concerned. But another thing, I don't see much on what needs to be done to prevent that. That would help.

Well it is a very serious issue. All over the world it is being found. I think it would be best to stop shaking hands and try avoiding contact. But then again, when it is your time, you go anyway. But, still no need to go looking for trouble ahead of time. It has crossed my mind to think maybe there is also a good side to this. So many people, so little work, most people are living poor lives. Maybe this is good. Good in a sad way of course. After the wars the economization (I think it is called) was good. There were less people, there was more work and life was looking up for a while. I don't mean to sound like a person who has no heart. I know it is sad to loose people around us. I just hope when it is our time to go, that we don't need to suffer pain. When I have to go, I hope it will be fast.(For others as well.) Take care have a nice evening.

I feel that the swine flu if it really affected someone then you would know about it pretty fast. I think that people with flu, a few days or a week in bed would be ok, though swine flu I think would not infect the average healthy person.
