Swine Flu

[zackthefox]

How do you know if you have Swine Flu? What type of signs?

[Kingpin]

well, I guess i'll tell you (from what I had when they stuck me on the damned medication a month or so ago, the meds made me even worse!!!)

Symptoms Include(stars are the ones that got me diagnosed...):
Cough
Runny Nose
Fever (*)
Headache from hell (*)
Aches & Pains (*)
Tiredness(*)
Loss of apitite
Sore Throat(*)
Anything else flu like

I was only mild, I was back up to strenth in a few days but was kept inside for 5, I had to spray everything I used with Clorox spray afterwords, the worst part was the Headache, it got so bad that I couldn't even open my eyes or move, the medication helped the headache but made the rest of it get blown out of porportion and thus the rest of the week I was sputtering like a old car.

(Also, no I am not still contagious...)

hey ya know whats cool is that my school got sewed 4 being open durin that swine flu epidemic because out of 1,200 kids 78 of them got the swine flu and they kept on with school like idiots and now when school starts up 4 u all(iam guessing u all start in august) it will be closed till september 23 and out of all the kids that got the swine flu 32 of them are dead which is real sad cause I knew at least 6 of em.

...Huh?

[Kingpin]

school will most likely start as per normal, maybe not YOURS but that won't effect us all, also the swine flu isn't powerfull enough to kill people as long as they're treated even a Tylenol works, not as well as perscription medicine, but it works for SOME REASON this seems a little Farfetch'd

ANYHOW, it'd be the parents fault anyways and I dont imagine a lawsuit could ensue because the parents didn't get their kids tested, when I had it the schools weren't closed down simply because its LESS powerfull then the regular flu if treated, only fatal if you have a disease that hurts the immune system or are a moron and try to tough it out, which, once again would put the parents in blame along with the contracted kid not the school.

well dont tell me ya dont beleave it cause its the GOD damb truth unfortunately.

[Quacker Duk]

Woah, woah, woah. No need to say "God Damb," Greydevils. No one's calling you a liar.

Honestly though, unless you live in Mexico where the government declared a state of emergency, it'll be a tough case to win.

You see, Swine flu was not just an epidemic, but more of a panic than anything else. (By the way, I'm really sorry you caught it, King P). While it's a nasty cold, with proper medical treatment, it's not any more fatal then the normal flu, and School was under no obligation to close. After all, people could catch it in any public setting, so accusing a school of being responsible is a bit of a stretch.

Of course, in America, we are willing to sue of anything, hoping to score big. Most people still think the legal system is some kind of litigious slot machine.

When Swine Flu was going on near my town, we still had school. I wonder why...a lot of the kids didn't have Swine Flu, but one of my good friends, (she went to another school and it ended early) she went to Mexico (that was where Swine Flu started) and she caught it. But it was gone in a few days.
