Ah1N1 are you still afraid of it?

there are some cases in our area.people don't know how to prevent it except having a mask and test our temperature.are there any effect medicine to cure it fast?how could we prevent it?especially in school.

Hi again, ybong007. In our area, there is still a lot of talk about the H1N1 virus. They now have a flu shot for it, but it is only being distributed to elderly people and children. It is in the news constantly, but not as many people are worried about it as were worried back in April and May when the flu was first discovered. However, we did recently have a child in the 6th grade die from the virus. I was quite surprised, and they didn't really elaborate on the child's health situation before he obtained the virus. It is really sad that people are dying from a strand of influenza.

I've been doing a lot of research. Here's a few articles! Baxter’s (one of the comapnies that make the vaccine) own scientists have stated in the New England Journal of Medicine that adjuvants do not improve antibody response. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/358/24/2573 In the 3rd paragraph:The use of adjuvants did not improve the antibody response." New treatment in flu vaccine controversy Hungry Newspaper. http://www.budapesttimes.hu/content/view/13267/219/ Pentagon’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r210_35.pdf For those who don't know, a .mil url is the domain of Military sites: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard have them. Swine flu fears grow as NHS staff shun vaccine http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/11/swine-flu-pandemic-vaccine-nhs "...this strain of swine flu is mild in most people..." "Nurses in particular worry that there may be side-effects, that corners have been cut in producing the vaccine and that the generally mild nature of the virus means they don't need to take it."

Does anyone remember the dreaded Nile Virus? how about the bird flu? This falls under the same category..We are being terrorized by our own government..

It's not gone from the news in my state. We have many school kids getting sick with the swine flu including 3 of my own children. Luckily, they have bounced back after 3-4 days of fever and feeling sick all around. I was very concerned about my oldest child who has asthma, which could become a serious danger if the flu settled into her lungs and turned to pnuemonia. Our pediatrician gave her Tami-flu so it would not get any worse and she's doing just fine now. The doctor also told me that they were not prescribing Tamiflu for everyone, only the kids that had other health issues like the asthma. I don't think the vaccine is readily available to the general public. I heard it would be given out by the county health dept and VA hospitals, not your neighborhood doctors.

No i don't afraid of aH1N1, I have my maxgxl, its proven you should take some. Yes I think there is a medicine for it now, still the best to do is proper hygiene.

nope. it is not well spread in my locality still now. lucky i am. hahaha.........

I guess it would still be better if we take precautionary measure even if the virus is not that present anymore.

There is nothing to worry about the AH1N1. It is just like a typical flu. The only thing to worry about is the complication of it.
