We get it already, WOS.  Your mind is made up - don't confuse you with the facts.Young, healthy people - children! - are dying from this flu. If I had family members with health problems that put them at higher risk, I'd be standing in line to make sure they got their shots. Right now, in Ontario, they are only vaccinating the high-risk population as there is a vaccine shortage. So, even though I would like to get this, I can't. I drive school bus - I will be exposed to it.

uh yea... people die from the flue every year! but it's not just the flue. It's like drinking and drive'n it kills you if you crash.
We had a local die with this.. however he was already frail, had pneumonia and complications from another defect. Did he have flue..yes.. and this and this and this.
I'm saying don't be a sheep.
now for those of us who don't like gov health care we can see what's what.. it's just a scare to make us be like canada.
isn't this better than a bunch of people just saying.. oh yes.. like brain numbed robots?

| I've talked to two parents this week who had H1N1 go through their houses and from what the docs told them and how they described their conditions, I'm thinking that my boys had it and I probably did too. None of us were awfully sick and the youngest only had a couple days of it but for the oldest and I it lingered a long time and we were both draggy. Apparently here they are calling everything H1N1 as the seasonal just hasn't started yet. They are finally doing vacine here but I think that since we managed it Ok once and don't have any underlying health issues, we'll just take our chances. We do have appt in a couple weeks to check up something else so I guess if they offer, I may change my mind. I'm so wishy washy on this. Mary Ann

ponder this for a moment.. what is to much risk?
I recall back in the spring we had a long thing about raw milk. Now I don't care if people drink it, but I don't think it is what people feel it is. In other words, there are risks not brought up
rather than just calling them "facts"
(sorry I can't do the real air finger quotes as I say the world)
I know about raw milk from actually farming.. not MSNBC or Michal More
some of you risk your personal health and those of your family by choosing your "back to the earth" life styles.
BUT some of the same people will act like chicken little because a talking head on the TV or a man who writes a blog said they might get the flue.
That's interesting.

| It's off subject but hits home never the less. In my mind I keep coming back to that night in 2007 when P2's lungs were "shutting down." They worked on him from midnight to 5 that morning and then under an oxygen tent a couple days later his Ped Dr told me his wasn't sick because of the "fact" he never had a fever. If the child wasn't sick then why did I rush him to the ER limp as a noodle and about to deck a ER Nurse because she wanted to weight him before seeing a Dr? Never mind the fact he could not stand up on his on and turning blue....okay getting off the soap box... It's like getting health insurance, if you have any preexisting complications you are denied insurance, but with this flu you may be denied your life. Besides, this thing could be man made to start off with (by intent or accident). A life is a life, whether you know that person or not. Did I mention that I'm getting off my soap box...

| Where are all the thousands that are dying? The gubment wasn't able to get adequate supplies developed and millions have not had the vaccine. So where are all the deaths the administration predicted without getting the vaccine? Sure some have died and for that I am truely sorry but people die from flu each year and I'm afraid this h1ni (swine flu) thing is being blown way out of proportion. Ken

becouse that is how many people die from flue every year... I don't know about 1,000's but people die of flue every year.
THis is another falling sky topic, used by someone to advance an agenda. and a sequence of events is not nececaraly the reason for an end.
