Hahaha, trust my first post to be about an illness >< still, you know :).

Is it really as bad as the government and the media are making out?

I don’t think so for one….true, yes, there have been deaths, but every year, are there not at least a couple of hundred deaths in the UK of NORMAL flu, and none of us really panic about it. So what’s the difference, really?

Yeahh, it’s a bit scary, but not quite AS scary as people are making out. I was listening to Jeremy Vine the other day (cos I’m cool - yeaaahhhh XD) and this woman rang in and said something about her family coming down with it fairly badly, and that they were in quarantine, her daughter could barely walk, the whites in her eyes were pinkish and she had all the other terrible symptoms of flu. But she also said that it wasn’t HALF as bad as people were making it out to be.

I know a couple of people down with swine flu (found out this guy who I know has it today apparently - poor guy =/) but none of them are particually close friends or anything…more aqquaintances really, so I haven’t really spoken to them properly about their symptoms or any information I would really like to know (cos I find this whole pandemic thing rather interesting - I know I shouldn’t be so nosy but I’m curious and I’d like to be able to have a proper opinion on this as I do with most things ^^).

However, I wish them all a speedy recovery and hope that they aren’t feeling TOO awful with it :) (though it’s probably inevitable they’ll feel like shite for a bit..)

Choww :)
