Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!

I think it is really bad that the childrens parents from that school havent been told and able to make their own decision on their childrens welfare. I know i wouldnt be sending my son!

And Panther your right about people not dying left right and centre but to the wrong person i think it can be very dangerous indeed!

for chicken pox yes but i dont think they did it for things like the plague

as for swine flu parties some people are born thick and stay thick,giving a baby swine flu or a young child on purpous could result in its death and if that happens i bet they wouldnt be thinking the party was such a good idea then

any excuse for a joint and a booze up i expect lol

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!

In today's Telegraph it said there are now 5 cases of swine flu in Accrington.

Worrying, but there's no point getting in a tizz about it. We can't do anything about it, can we?

Exactly Lilly no point worrying about something you can't change. The young lad from Hyndburn Park seems to be doing well so that reassures me somewhat.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!

Hello

It is all a bit scary. I was reading in the paper today that they are giving up trying to contain the virus. I.e, they wont be shutting any more schools or trying to chase the source of the infection if found in someone. But they will still carry on with quarantines.

Also they have said that tamiflu may not be the answer but a vaccine is coming soon. Children under 5, the frail, and the elderly will get it.

I work in a school and weeks back when all this started the first thing that i thought was that surely it would be a good idea to send out letters home asking if your children had been away (specifically Mexico) recently. But as far as i know nothing happened.

The paper also states that soon (before the summers out) 40 people could be dying a day in the UK from this if it carries on spreading as it has been doing.

I feel that I'm not a stupid person but i feel utterly confused by all this swine flu business. If it is as serious as it is made out to be then surely the government/council should issue an information pamphlet. Stating key information such as How to tell, how to avoid, what to do, and where to get treatment.

I think the record needs setting straight on this issue.

Matt

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!

There are between 250,000 and 500,000 flu related deaths each year worldwide. So far there have been less than 300 swine flu related deaths.

They aren't going to bother testing now, so any flu will get labelled as swine flu, just to get the figures up

I think that the media are flinging figures about willy nilly......no-one knows what the true figures are for this strain of flu (H1N1) and there may be many people out there who have had the virus and recovered, treating it as nothing more than a summer flu.......as for the elderly succumbing to the virus....it may be true if there are other health issues, but the elderly seem to be less affected......this may be due to the fact that in their long lives they have been exposed to more varieties of flu viruses.

I am not saying the people shouldn't take care, but all this hype is unnecessary and is confusing and frightening for some people.
We need to get some kind of perspective on the situation.

I'm sure I read somewhere that people over sixty or maybe in their sixties were less likely to succumb to this type of flu (or maybe I dreamed that up). We just need to take extra care, there is no need for panic.

No, Bernie....you didn't dream it up......and it appears that unless you have any other pre-existing illnesses the over sixties will be better at throwing off this virus, for the reasons I have outlined in a previous post.
