>>Maybe you're on the right track, Detective Grady. Then again, what I know from personal experience with two people who have come down with H1N1 is that it is very much like the ordinary flu. You're sick for a week, then you're better. I think we are going a little crazy about it, and in this case I agree with those who say the media have overhyped it.

>I think the media is just reporting what is going on. And, yes most people who get it have mild symptoms that are gone in four to five days. So, for ninety five per cent, or so, of those who get it there is nothing to worry about. The small group gets hemoragic lung infections which are very serious. There is medical chatter about H1N1 approaching Egypt and Vietnam where H5N1 may or may not blend with H1N1. Middle Europe is being whacked by H1N1 now, and deaths are up in Turkey, so Metin will be paying attention.
