1. Have you had swine flu? What was it like for you? (Symptoms, duration.)
Yep, had it in June. It wasn't particularly pleasant I'll be honest. Had fever/sweats, nausea, headache and then general cold symptoms.
2. Do you know anyone who has?
My flatmate also had t, and a few kids in my class and at my school.
3. Is your local community being affected? What measures are they taking now?
Initially they were closing schools for a week or so if they enough confirmed cases, but they've stopped doing that. We now just have signs all over the school about washing hands and throwing tissues in the bin. I think the council is taking the view that it's better to just get it over with.
4. Have you ever been quarantined for any reason? What was it? How did you amuse yourself in the meantime?
Playstation and puzzles.
5. Are you nervous about swine flu, or do you still think it's been overblown?
Very overblown.
Formally known as patternweaver.

I almost feel like I'm coming down with something, but I'm not sure.

I think I've had it. Symptoms seemed to match, anyway.

We've had 7 people die from it at my hospital.

I suspect that working at a hospital gives you a rather biased sample of the populace. *NM*

According to the CDC, on average 36,000 die from the flu each year in the US.

Thank you, Greg. Finally, someone points out what it seems the general populace has forgotten!

I think the worry is just that it's more contagious, which would be bad if a fiercer strain
