ltgator333 3 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Wow that's all they have behind Anderson? I too didn't know he was still in the NHL- they better hope Andy keeps playing like that for at least the rest of the season (not happening). I love how the media has tried to over-blow this every chance they get and apparently sports writers are no better than the rest of their counterparts..

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 My future brother in law actually has swine flu. It sucks, but it's the flu. Not this cataclysmic disease that will wipe out humanity. People will realzie it next year when they hype up yet another ailment as the end of humanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 145 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 My future brother in law actually has swine flu. It sucks, but it's the flu. Not this cataclysmic disease that will wipe out humanity. People will realzie it next year when they hype up yet another ailment as the end of humanity. It is, and it isn't. Swine flu tends to act via the cytokine storm, where the body's immune response is so strong as to cause pneumonia in some cases. I've plenty of cases of such right now in clinic. However, it is true- many who get it won't have a problem. The problem seems to be that H1N1 is showing odd peak patterns- different timing than seasonal flu, different target groups getting sickest. /Medical Student.

THANK YOU...i've been saying this all along. The media is doing their job and making a bigger deal outta it than it is basically to cause panic and make people go get the shot...IMHO its all about causing panic to people will SPEND MONEY to get a shot they prob don't need. Not only that, but some girl who was training to be a Redskins cheerleader got the shot and it caused her to not be able to walk forwards right, or talk...she can run fine and walk backwards fine...and only talk right when walking backwards or running. I've never gotten a flu shot in my life and I've never had the flu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Budaj got it from Miss Piggy. No one was supposed to find out, but someone squealed. Hope he gets better. Scary in kids, old folks, and people with existing medical conditions that weaken them, but he's a healthy adult. He should be fine. Talk about media hyping this- our local rag ran a headline in big letters "H1N1 Vaccines Frozen en Route to Hospital!!!" (or something like that) and then in little letters "still safe and effective". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
