Nope... I'm immune!
Seriously- swine flu, H1N1 yada yada yada unless you are in poor health to begin with not such a big deal... The media blows this kinda thing way outta proportion, and the health care industry and politicians love it and perpetuate it because it gives them cart blanche to continue raping our income for more $$$$.
Take a look at the Centers for Disease Control website to obtain some FACTS.

"Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface."
So the stranger who coughs in his hand and touches a door handle can infect you several hours later.
Without getting into a panic and being paranoid, taking some prudent and common sense precautions at this time of year would be a rational idea.

It is a pandemic already....true it is not that lethal right now but as we all know virus mutate, and this one can easily do so...if that happens it will very soon become very deadly.
I am stuck at home with the flu and everyone else who feels sick with flu like symptom should also do so. Quarantine yourself.
Dr. Neil Rau said on TV that people who were exposed to H1N1 in the first wave will likely have some immunity in the second wave.
I am not as concerned about Swine Flu.....
....as I am the lousy hygiene habits of most. Thousands of people die each year from all kinds of flu. If people would just wash there hands and cover when coughing, it would do wonders!!! I don't believe I'll die, but id I get the H1N1 from some fuckin pig, I'll be pissed.

Half the students in some classes are home with it as we speak. So far no serious cases. But it is very contagious.
I think I had it...it was milder than many colds I've had. But then I'm one that may have some immunity from way back.
Apparently, young people are at greater risk because they have a less matured immune system (unlike that old geezer CycleGuy).
Had it, mild but stayed home.
As for mutation, do your research. It is not a big mutant, they tried to get it to mutate in labs without much luck.

Yep, yep, yep, yep... it's all down hill from here... The nice thing is... I pick up speed and mileage on the way down!
I look at life as I do a big long hill while riding my bike... work hard and sweat it out on the way up, and the reward is you get a nice enjoyable ride with less effort on your way down.
