So i got the swine flue...

Yep i got the swine flue and i must say so far it hasn't been that that bad. The highest temperature so far i've gotten has been 102 and i only threw up one time. But i get very nauses, and my bones are really weak and i have to walk hunched over because the bones in my back really hurt. But towards night time my temperature sub-sides down to 98 which is normal about everynight. I am 16 years old and i just had some questions for anyone following up on the swine flue or anyone who has had it, is there a risk of me dying? I read that the high risk are people who'm are pregnant, older the 65, or with heart diseases in which i dont have any of that.

But i still want to know if the chances are there that i can die from this. I have had a period today where it was pretty bad my illness but right now im feeling ok again. And how can this kill me? Any statistics?

I don't know, I'm not an immunologist. Google it.

No there is a very little chance of you dieing like 1%. You have a higher chance of dieing from a regular flu than the swine flu.

Get off the forums, you'll infect us all! :cry:chessmaster1989

Thanks commander yea i am staying home, it is just a running possibility that goes through my head. If anyone can tell my anything on it please do...i did some googling but i dont how much i can trust google lol i figured maybe you guys have had so experiences or heard from the news.

Noooo, and I'm due to appear in front of an Obama-headed death panel in 2 hours. :cry:

i was sneezing earlier i thought i had it

Wow so the regular flue is actually worse??

Yeah I'd Google. They have been saying that it isn't near as bad as they expected it to be so far. Glad you're not too sick. :DRedWolves_

Do not fret TC, you're not going to die. Just let it run it's course. At your age, your immune system is in it's kickin' butt form.

Sweet ! lol

You just got pwned.

WTF you guys are mean as ****:lol: Alright brother check this out. Swine flu is no deadlier than a common flu or cold. Are there chances of any of the actually3 being fatal? Yes, but the risk are much higher for older and elderly individuals because their immunes systems are fragile and weakend, You are young, stronger, andmore immune to the virusso your bodywill fight it stronger. Nausea, vomiting, fever, are as common symptoms to other colds and flus. So can you die? yesbut very very slim chance. 99% sure you'll make it in one piece.

EDIT: Oh yeah forgive my horrible grammar and typos. its 12:14 AM and Im tired, and to lazy to fix anything

From what I hear, a couple of friends of mine on the internet told me they had gotten it and they are fine now. One of them is from Indonesia and the other from Canada.

You're not going to die from it. I guarantee it. Swine flu isn't that big a deal. It's just an unusual strain of the regular flu.

On the note of infectious diseases, I was watching the History Channel yesterday and there was a show about doomsday scenarios.

Anyway, one of the doomsday scenarios was infectious disease, and they were talking about weaponized smallpox that the soviet union produced during the cold war. I just find this sort of interesting, and was planning on looking up more about that online. But then I started thinking about terrorism, and how this is pretty much the only terrorism scenario in which one person could pretty much singlehandedly destroy the human race as we know it.

So I then decided against typing into Google phrases such as "weaponized smallpox" and "human engineered smallpox virus", not wanting to end up on some kind of FBI terrorism hot list.

But in any case, is that the kind of thing that it's safe to research on the internet? Or were my instincts correct, and I shouldn't research that kind of thing unless I want to get visited by the FBI?

You just got pwned.
