1. Have you had swine flu? What was it like for you? (Symptoms, duration.)

No

2. Do you know anyone who has?

No

3. Is your local community being affected? What measures are they taking now?

Supposedly it is wide spread in Vermont, but I work in retail and so far no one I know has been affected. Hospitals in the state are restricting access by visitors to some parts of their hospitals. Unfortunately we have had a hard time getting enough of the vaccine to go around.

4. Have you ever been quarantined for any reason? What was it? How did you amuse yourself in the meantime?

Well I had chicken pox when I was very young and had to stay in my room. My parents brought me coloring books and dolls and a music box with a ballerina and other stuff to amuse a six year old. I remember growing bored despite their best efforts. On the upside my younger sister had to stay out of our shared bedroom.

5. Are you nervous about swine flu, or do you still think it's been overblown?

I'm not nervous for myself, no. I am nervous for people I know with young children.

We've had 7 people die from it at my hospital. Nurse Denice - 28/10/2009 09:21:45 AM 411 Views
I suspect that working at a hospital gives you a rather biased sample of the populace. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/10/2009 12:16:16 AM 167 Views
i agree *NM* LadyLorraine - 29/10/2009 02:13:55 AM 158 Views

According to the CDC, on average 36,000 die from the flu each year in the US. The Shrike - 28/10/2009 01:53:35 PM 380 Views
Thank you, Greg. Finally, someone points out what it seems the general populace has forgotten! Taardad Maiden - 30/10/2009 12:06:23 PM 480 Views
I think the worry is just that it's more contagious, which would be bad if a fiercer strain Lupine - 30/10/2009 01:32:00 PM 437 Views
