That'll be the way of it for most people. I saw the interview with the boy who had the earliest recorded case of it in this "pandemic"...He's totally fine now and he was from rural Mexico with little or no healthcare. He spent 3 days in bed and he was fine.It's not as big a deal as it's being made out. in the last week since this has been news some 20,000 people around the world will have died from normal flu.
As I said before, the only reason this gets headlines is that it has killed people who are normally at less risk from normal flu...namely people under 45 and over 5.
This stockpiling of face masks and anti viral drugs are a joke. For a start the masks are far too pourous to be effective against airborne pathogens without them being lined with certain chemicals and secondly, most anti-viral drugs are relatively ineffective except for cutting edge genetically specific drugs which are being developed.
Could I at least get a shirt that says: "I survived the Pig Flu and all I got was this stupid shirt"?
