OT: Oink, Oink!

I have the swine flu (H1N1), which explains my virtual absence this week, and will probably be another 1-2 weeks.

I have this urge to eat some slops...

Sniff sniff.... anyone else smell Bacon???

(There is a 4 hour wait in line to get the vaccination for the swine flu in our area.)

Please describe in great details all aspects of the flu so we can watch out for it...

How did it start... what was the worse... how long did it take to break.

That sucks, Paul. There's been more than a couple people at my work that were out with it in the last month. I'm glad I've avoided it thus far. *knocks on wood*

Hope you get over it relatively quickly.

It's almost non-existant in this part of the world. I think you can count the number of cases without even taking off your shoes although there has been two deaths (one already VERY unhealthy and the other probably would have gone from old age the week after anyway).
Still, it's something that's made it on to my "diseases not to catch" list.

What a pig. Seriously, take care of yourself & get better.

Back in July this was the official case history of the pandemic.

Hey Paul, hope you feel better soon.

Re: the vaccine I think I'll pass when it becomes available in the UK...anyone ever read Clancy's "Rainbow Six?"...it's all part of the fiendish masterplan...

Come to France. Nobody wants to get it and won't (17% of our population might eventually think about getting it). The government is advertising four hours a day in a desperate hope of convincing the French to do it (They ordered 94 million vaccins for a population of 60: 1 billion € already in the trashcan).

Send it here! We're so short of vaccine in San Antonio that my doctor hasn't even gotten her shot yet, and one of the other doctors in her practice is out with the swine flu!

Hey Paul, what are the symptoms? Do you have a craving for "BRAAAAAAAINS" yet?

Or is it more sinister, have you developed a grunt or has your nose gotten long and flat, or sprouted a curly tail?

Seriously, when I worked in the hospital last Winter they were all worried about it. They had less than 200 doses of medicine for its treatment in the entire area, <Riverside, San Bernardino and parts of Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego and El Centro or is it Imperial. But, really most of the symtpoms didn't seem like anything other than the regular flu. Okay, its a mutated strain of a new type of flu, but then again, aren't they all?

I wish you well on your battle with the swiny aggressors...

Get well soon Paul.
