Swine Flu - Should we be worried?, by cannaebefannied on Apr 27, 2009 16:45:15 GMT 1, I hope not, I'm off to Mexico in 5 weeks ! Typical, I booked to go to Guardalavaca in Cuba last year, 4 days before we were due to fly out, Hurricaine Ike hit that region & we had to change our holiday (still made Cuba but ended up in a shitty resort) Now this ! I was looking forward to giving a porker a dirty sanchez too !

Swine Flu - Should we be worried?, by cashman on Apr 27, 2009 16:50:32 GMT 1, More scare mongering by goverments to keep everyone in fear, if its not terrorists its killer bird flu and no now pigs 
How many people actually died of bird flu even ?? Do people actually forget that good old English flu kills old people every year !!
What do doctors do ?? they actually GIVE normal flu to old people in some perverse way of stopping them getting it! 
THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD

Swine Flu - Should we be worried?, by Deleted on Apr 27, 2009 17:03:58 GMT 1, SYDNEY, April 27, 2009 (AFP) - The swine flu outbreak is more worrying than bird flu because it is spread much more readily between humans, an Australian infectious diseases expert said Monday.
Australian National University epidemiology specialist professor Paul Kelly said swine flu had a lower mortality rate than bird flu but warned this was a mixed blessing because it would help the virus spread more quickly.
He said bird flu had remained relatively contained because human-to-human transmission was difficult, while swine flu was highly infectious.
"(Bird flu) has been limited - to a limited extent that has happened in Indonesia and other places, but it's never been on the sort of scale as this," Kelly told ABC radio.
"This is actually really more worrying."
He said swine flu appeared to be a form of the virus that epidemiologists had feared for years - a combination of strains from various animals that was easily transmitted between humans.
"In terms of an epidemic, for the virus to be able to spread it's actually better for the virus for humans to remain alive because that can spread it more quickly and to a greater extent geographically," he said.
Professor John Mackenzie, a biosecurity expert from Perth's Curtin University, said the latest flu threat appeared to be a combination of at least two types of swine virus and an avian virus gene.
He said the next few days would be crucial in determining whether the world was facing a pandemic.
"I guess we're at that 'grey' stage where we don't know if it is going to be a pandemic strain or not," he said.
"We're certainly concerned but at the same time Australia is in a better position than most other countries to be able to withstand or cope with a pandemic."

"I guess we're at that 'grey' stage where we don't know if it is going to be a pandemic strain or not,"
In other words the glass is still half full, everyone should chill until they actually have the final facts

Whichever (Normal UK) flu you get, you need to get a new vaccine every year. Why? Because the flu virus changes every year and the vaccine is specially created to fight the viruses that are going to be a problem that year.

Mate, it doesnt fight the virus...it gives you it, the theory is if you have it once you cant get it again (that year/ strain). So whats the benefit of the jab really ?? coz I see none

Bit like nookie in my case then, esp if you substitute the word Decade for Year.

not people eating sunday roasts and downing pints. It will probably just be like having a severe case of the flu...

yes and thats world wide in 6 years, statisticaly more people die walking up the stairs than that !
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7213561.stm

The injection isn't live. The nasal spray they use (in some places for certain groups?) are I think.

Swine Flu - Should we be worried?, by Deleted on Apr 27, 2009 17:40:53 GMT 1, How is the vaccine made?
Flu vaccines contain the ingredients from many different strains of flu virus. The viruses are grown in hens' eggs, then killed and purified before being made into a vaccine.
How does the vaccine work?
About a week to ten days after the vaccine is injected, your body makes antibodies to the vaccine viruses. These antibodies help to protect you against any similar viruses you then come into contact with. This protection lasts for about a year.
Can influenza vaccine cause 'flu?
No. The vaccine does not contain any live virus, so it cannot cause flu.

True the nasal spray flu vaccine contains live but at a weakened flu virus, we were talking about the jab tho
