mass hysteria...all feeding into the govt’s agenda for mandatory immunization.
low grade fever, upper respiratory distress, aches, pains chills, sore throat, tender lymph glands. The usual.
Sick for 3 - 4 days. Infectious for 7 - 10 (even before you present with symptoms).
Then you are fine. (statistically you WILL be fine.)
Some sadly will die. But folks die from a lot of HxNx viral infections, even a ‘hanta’ virus (cold) can ‘kill’ some.

Vitamin D is supposed to help take care of this....
How many cases have been confirmed as H1N1?
How many cases have been confirmed as H1N1?
Vitamin D, Benadryl, Zyrtec OTC, Ibuprofen, lots of water and fruit juice/ gatorade. Try to pee a lot to cycle fluids.
Those will lessen symptoms AND probably lessen the chance of more serious side-effect conditions in otherwise healthy individuals.
You forgot we need to pass health care now!!! YEAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!! That last part was for are old friend Howie. LOL!!! People die from the common cold. I haven’t of that many deaths from this here in the U.S. and one of them was a baby that came from Mexico with his family. I think it is ironic that this is popping up now. Don’t get me wrong I pray these students get better no mattter what they have. It just seems odd timing. Of course they kept saying that it would hit hard this fall. If this truly becomes an epidemic, I pray that the Democrats can’t use it to shove Obamacare down our throats.
I was being kind (we won’t talk about MY first semester in college, either!) LOL
Not that my 18 yo son needs an excuse not to get a shot, I’ve told him NOTHING from a school nurse and I’ll HAVE to be there with the pediatrician...(He SO hates going to the kid dr - he’s an adult now! LOL)
My daughters will refuse the H1N1 innoculation if there is an outbreak at either of the universities they attend here in FL.
What’s the theory behind why the government would be looking for mandatory immunization?
BILLIONS of dollars have already been released for this virus.
Sounds like a hi temp is the only verifiable “symptom”
I wouldn’t put it past college students to pull a huge prank where everyone pretends to be sick.
They might have flu but that does not make it Swine Flu
I don’t expect them to actually test them for that strain of flu, they just want to assume it. Because Swine Flu comes with federal $$$, why would they want to test them??
Poor Washington State.
They can’t keep a football coach . . . now this.
Wazzu!!
Achoo!!!
Sick for 3 - 4 days. Infectious for 7 - 10 (even before you present with symptoms).

Reminds me of a Dilbert comic I saw once: Dogbert reading the newspaper: "There is a new disease. First you feel fine and then you die." Dilbert: "I feel fine." Dogbert: "My work is done here."
I would be asking if 2000 students reporting signs of a cold is statistically different from prior years. But the answer may not fit the agenda.
I agree. Our clinic has been swamped with cases involving flu symptoms. It may be mild but lots of people are getting it.
I hope the Marxists in government don’t use the Swine Flu as and excuse to shut down the Tea Parties.
Oh Snap!....what about Sept. 12? Rahm doesn't believe in wasting a "crisis".
