H1N1 Swine Flu information.

Hey everyone, i would like to inform some of the indiviual gamers of the swine flu here. i am not a doctor, but i'm informing my self of this potentially deadly flu.  
and i would like for everyone else here to contribute some information. 
the deadly flu has reached my county and people are getting sick. (especially after leaving the hospital) and its starting to increase slowly.
  

By the way, for whoever is educated about this subject, i am a rh negative individual 
and because my blood lacks the RH antigen, i think i am more prone to the virus. i don't think this has been touched on, i haven't found a topic anywhere. 
 
 
safety guidelines and precautions.

.... duder.... swine flu is over

Always good to be aware.

This just in: Swine flu is contagious. Lock yourselves in your room and don't answer the phone. Nobody is safe.

The BBC's page on swine flu is particularly informative. Obviously some of the info is aimed at the british audience (NHS helplines & stuff like that), but most of the info is very useful wherever you are.
 
Although, basically, swine flu is noting to worry about. It's no worse than a normal flu. 1/3 people who get it won't even realize they have it, they'll just get on with life assuming it's just a bad cold. It spreads very quickly, but the actual disease isn't THAT bad.

Ughh. I wanna stop hearing about Swine Flu...

" .... duder.... swine flu is over "

So I heard you like things that are blown way out of proportion? 

I don't think it's any more dangerous than the regulaur flu, which does kill  about 300,000 to 500,000 people every year. But most of those people are over 65. If your immune system is in good shape than you shouldn't have to worry too much.

THIS JUST IN: 
 
 
 
SWINE FLU IS JUST THE NORMAL FREAKING FLU

Don't believe the media hype. It spreads faster than a normal flu yes, but it's not as severe. Think of it this way, in my country (Sweden) the regular flu kills around 3000 people a year, the swine flu has killed 2, as in two.
