Is Swine Flu a Myth or Reality

HI! i think it is still reality- maybe there are not so many people, infectious with it now, but there are still many, who are!~

well I have caught swine flu this year and also the normal flu so have had a double whammy and to be honest the normal flu was far worse lol, so personally I wouldnt bother getting vacinated speaking from first hand experience it really is no big deal at all.

well, I believe swine flu is reality so we must always be careful with our health. Being careful is much better than being sorry in the end.

I don't think that the swine flu is a myth. However, I do believe that the media has made it a lot worse than it really is. I've known some people that have had it and yes, they have been quite sick, but they haven't been nearly as sick as what we are shown on the television or what we hear about on the radio. I think that the sensationalism of it is spurred on by the pharmaceutical companies to convince people that they need to get the vaccine so that they can make extra money.

It is hard to believe it is hoax although I hope it is. When I hear news from TV or on the internet about the increasing number of Swine Flu and reports about how serious it is, I feel so anxious. I pray for the health of all my family members. We are in a panic to see someone cough or snivel in pulic places. We saw all the governments put great money and effort to control the spread of the flue and develop the vccination. Almost all the people regard it one of the desasters over the world. I never thought it another way. But it is understandable that some pharmaceutical company over exaggerated the seriousness of the flue by purpose. This can be proved by the great profit they earned during such a short time. They will feel shamed if the suscpicion prove to be true.

It is a reality with much given hype.It is a variant of flu and that's it. It has some different symptoms than normal flu. In india , it was very late to arrive and it was very much under control even if there was a panic around

Oh no, this is a reality. I have had several friends and some family who have had the Swine Flu, and it is no joke. They felt horrible when they had it, and they could not do anything for a week. I have not gotten it yet, and I do not fear it because I am taking care of myself, I have had my Seasonal Flu shot, and I may end up getting the H1N1 vaccine if I feel that I really need it, and I have had the stomach flu. Most of the people who have gotten it have isolated themselves, and they have stayed away from others when they caught it.

I do believe that is why it is now called H1N1, because it was not truly "swine" flu, but whatever name we call it, in itself, it is very real, and very dangerous. Karen

It's as real as it can get, people are really dyeing from it.In my country the disease was brought in from ppl across border coming home for x-mas, they came from Spain and Italy, and to really prove how dumb they were ,they didn'y even declare theyr sick at the border control. Here's a little story, a girl in my city lost her mom and her husband to the disease... i'm curious to how she will react if you would face her and ask her if she thinks the disease is real.
