Latest SARS Victims Fitter and Younger
Treatments that seemed promising for fitter and younger people are now showing to be little help. Does this mean it is becoming stronger rather than weaker as it moves through society.
I've been getting more
worried because more people
I talk to have friends
and relatives they
describe as "deathly ill" with
some kind of "weird flu."
The WHO page is bad.
But it's worse hearing people
talking on the street...
That's odd. We actually has a horrible flu this year in our house. Probably 6,7 weeks ago. I rarely get a cough type illness and I was hacking up a lung. My chest hurt from coughing for frequently and so hard.
Another odd symptom was an excruciating pain in my lower back. It barely effected my husband who had a flu shot this year so, I assummed it was this years flu flavor.
But, I would think flu season would be winding down.
I would be interested in seeing how in tact the victims immune systems are. I wonder if they have lower T cell counts or something?! I would also be interested in knowing just how the supposed recovered are doing.
