swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

i just got stopped by two reporters as i bought my daughter back from school

they asked if the letter i was holding was to do with the swine flu case which it wasnt and they told me that a case had been confirmed and the child was from hyndburn park school....

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

my mates daughter goes there, think i'll ring her and tell her

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

How do you know you have swine flu?, it could just be the normal flu!, its not killing everyone left right and center so i dont know what the fuss is about meself! :(

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

3 deaths in the UK out of almost 6000 confirmed cases. All of them were vulnerable and could have died had they caught normal flu (whatever that is)

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

The symptoms of swine flu are broadly the same as those of ordinary flu, but may be more severe and cause more serious complications.

The typical symptoms are:
sudden fever, and
sudden cough.
Other symptoms may include:
headache,
tiredness,
chills,
aching muscles,
limb or joint pain,
diarrhoea or stomach upset,
sore throat,
runny nose,
sneezing, and
loss of appetite.
Potentially everyone is at risk from swine flu because few people, if any at all, have immunity (resistance) to it.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I would expect that all the children at the school will have been notified and possibly the school will be shut for a while.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

well i rang my mate and she knew nothing at all about it, not had any letters or anything

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

That's strange. :confused:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I think the most suprising issue here is that there are 2 reporters in Accrington covering local news. That is probably more of a shock than somebody getting swine flu :)

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

i know, i dont think Mani got any info from the school either, i think he only knew because the reporter mentioned it to him

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

was asking the lady next door, whose kids go there n she had been told, don't know if verbal or a letter, never thought to ask.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

well theyre saying people are having swine flu parties ...

BBC NEWS | Health | Swine flu parties ‘a bad idea’

and warning that its a bad idea ....

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Its all over the from page of the Telegraph today. Poor kid, I bet all his mates are treating him like he's a leaper.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

You do have to shake your head when you hear about stupidity like this, you really couldn't make it up:eek:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Is this not how it was done in the olden days.

Oh wait its much better to be injected with the flu.:rolleyes:

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!

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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 :rolleyes:

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

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

dunno if its been posted on here or not but its at a blackburn school as well now

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?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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!
 

I realy feel sorry for all the people and the children what as got this virus i do hope they can come up with something soon to help with this .

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

i'm still thinking of not sending my daughter come monday

she's 5 and frail so i dont really wanna risk it

but saying that the way the govt is talkin about it being so common and allowing it to spread its going to get to her eventually.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I hope no swine gives it me:D

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.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

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.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Good to know I'm not cracking up (yet):D

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Surely though if it was a standard flu it wouldnt be getting all this attention?

I suppose you never know whats truly going on with things until they happen. Either its a normal flu bug, people get it and recover. Or maybe its something more serious, is uncontrollable and unstoppable.

Would the goverment make a statement stating that they cant stop this flu and it is deadly?...I doubt it, everything is sugar coated to avoid panic.

Do you agree?

I really feel we arent being told the full story and all of the issues.

Matt

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

no.....I don't agree at all. All influenza has the potential to be life threatening in a certain set of circumstances...and this virus is no different.

I'm not sure what I think about the media coverage, except that it is going to make a lot of money for the companies that produce the Tamiflu anti-viral medication, and also for those drug companies currently working on vaccines.

Neither do I feel that the government is sugar coating things to avoid panic.......if that was what they were about there would be an embargo on news of the spread of the virus.......make your own assumptions from the fact that there is no embargo.

I am sure if there was a seasonal flu outbreak in your own area/community, you would take sensible precautions to avoid contracting the virus.......this flu is no different......and the same sensible precautions apply.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I think it was the Health Minister who started banding about massive figures last week Margaret and he also said that testing for the virus would stop and figures would now be estimated

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I know someone who phoned up NHS Direct yesterday with flu type symptoms and was told that tamiflu can be arranged by a GP

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

i rang up NHS direct and couldnt get through because of the panic over this swine flu

if its such a problem then they should have a dedicated number for it so that those who forget its hot out there can be disposed of quickly when they ring up claiming they have swine flu because they are hot and clammy or have a touch of hayfever and get into mass panic over a bit of sneezing

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Why not ring up for an appointment with your GP or if considered serious enough go to casualty?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

depends what he rang about roy? know a guy that went hospital cos he hadn't got a dentist (NHS)the other week n was told to ring NHS Direct up now. everythings gone nuts.:rolleyes:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Only went 'tits up' when your beloved Labour Government took control. :)

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Are we to assume from that observation that Accyman had a dental problem? or does it leave us guessing as to the problem?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

assume what you like but unless your my GP or Specialist you can mind your own fcuking buisness

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Whats it got to do with you ... i dont put on here everytime i go to the docs or ring NHS direct ... you dont put on here every time you ring NHS direct ... oh but you are in spain and cant use NHS direct can you ..

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

i suppose i could have spent 2 hours argueing with a receptionist then wait 3 days to see my doctor and take up a valuable appointment slot or ring NHS direct and ask 1 question and have my enquirey resolved quickly.

but as i was sayin unfortunatly this swine flu has been so poorly dealt with that a lot of people are in a panic at teh slightest ailment and puttingteh service under a lot of pressure and that is why i said there shoudl be a seperate number for people worried about swine flu to ring

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

there was no such thing as NHS direct under the last tory government.... funny thing that ex-pats come home to this country to get treatment on the good NHS we have and then find time to slag it off!:rolleyes:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

some now get refused when they come crawling back when pooly and rightly so.


British woman with deadly virus denied free NHS care... because she moved to Turkey to retire | Mail Online

seems fair enough to me , she was covered by the NHS while she lived here and was contributing and now she isnt she has to accept her new countries health system or pay to use ours

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

That's a plus point for being in Spain then - he will have to see a Doctor if he has a problem instead of phoning a call centre.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

There is a notice on the door of the Acorn Medical Centre saying --If you have flu-like symptoms do not enter this building,Call NHS Direct.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

This is what it says on nhs direct website

Alert: Important information about swine flu

Last updated 5:02 PM Monday 06 July 2009

With more than 7,400 confirmed cases of swine flu in the UK, important changes have been made to the way the virus is being tackled. Read the latest official advice to help protect yourself and others.

Key messages


If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu:

• Read up on swine flu symptoms then use the NHS Direct swine flu symptom checker
• If you are then still concerned, stay at home and call your GP
• If the GP confirms swine flu by telephone, they will give you a voucher reference entitling you to anti-viral medication
• Give this number to a healthy friend or relative and ask them to pick up the antivirals for you from a designated local collection centre

Note: If you belong to a high-risk group it is particularily important you start taking antivirals as soon as possible. High-risk groups include people with long-term conditions, those over 65, children under five and pregnant women.

Swine flu alert from the NHS

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

You can't beat a good diagnosis by phone. I wonder who will be the first to die because GP's could not be bothered to do a home visit and carry out a proper diagnosis?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

There is no guarantee that you get a correct diagnosis if they DO see you :rolleyes:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

home visits are for the people most in need like the elderly etc... if drs are do home visits fir swine flu then wouldnt that spread it round the high risk people?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Not if they took precautions, what are they supposed to do if the GP has a sign on the door saying go away?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

All parents collecting children at Siobhan's nursery were sent home today with a letter from the health protection agency saying a child who attends the nursery had been clinically diagnosed as suffering from swine flu.

As I was there from 4 o clock for a meeting with Siobhan's key worker, I was surprised that not one member of staff mentioned anything to me until I was signing Siobhan out, only then was I given a copy of the letter.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

yup totaly agree there margaret , a doctor diagnosed hyperchondia when i went with the same symtoms for 3 years and it turned out i had cancer


close but no cigar

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

spot on, paris was on medication fer the wrong thing fer nearly 2 years, she had also asked fer a referall twice cos she was suffering n not a happy bunny, but no, she has now changed her doctor.:rolleyes:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Unfortunately this happens all to often with cancer patients and quite often drugs that might have been effective with an early diagnosis turn out to be useless.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I am of the understanding that cancer sufferers have an open appointment with the specialist if there is signs of a new growth of Skin
Cancer (Self Diagnosed)
Fortunately I can walk into primary care and point out the problem and be seen without appointment.
I have had it thown in my face many times by the website knowalls that I am no longer entitled to the care of the NHS.......Wrong.
I am entitled to have extended holidays wherever and whenever I chose.
I have not surrendered my passport, I have not opted to join the Spanish System. I still have a British Driving Licence....I do not claim benefits. Nor do I intend to whilst in Spain.
If I need to come to England for NHS care then so be it.
I have never crabbed the NHS nor do I intend to.
End of rant.:)

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Confirmed case at Helmshore primary school today
letters of notification sent out with parent

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Not from my experience whilst Ian was ill, I did have contact with a wonderful nurse who I rang if there were any concerns. But as for open appointments with the specialist, never heard of it before. Maybe other people have, it would be interesting to hear.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

If a referral from a GP suspects that the patient being referred has cancer, then there is a process by which an appointment will be given within a two week period......in my experience GPs have phoned consultants (Gynae) and the patient has often been seen either that day or the next....and at every clinic there were always two appointments left vacant to accommodate such happenings.
Whilst I do not know of an 'open door' situation for these kinds of patient...in reality they (the patient) usually form a bond with one of the Nurses......and they can intercede with the consultant if the patient has particular concerns.
On the Unit that I worked on, we had a lovely Christie trained Cancer Specilaist Nurse who could always be accessed by the patients....she would speak with consultants about her patients worries and organise a visit if this was required.

I don't know what happens now....I have been retired for 7 years...or what happens in other specialties or areas.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I see from the BBC website that the kids at Peel Park school are being encouraged to handle vermin. Would you be happy if this was one of yours? (little brat, that is). Even if one of these rats with wings is a gift from the Queen, they still carry as much disease as the non-flying version, not least a pretty nasty and incurable lung disease. I wonder if LCC education dept are aware of this or the local Health & Safety office?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Its a wonder the H & S have let this one get under their radar, they're usually well on the ball Tealeaf, and I agree dirty little flying rats:(

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

:theband:Totally agree with you Roy, during your working life you paid enough into the system, unlike other people who come to this country and have never paid a bean into the system

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I remember a few years ago getting a table seat on a pretty crowded train from Preston to London; when we stopped at Wigan, a young lady got on carrying a cat transporter and plonked it down on the table between me and her. I couldn't see the little beasties inside, but I could hear two of 'em moving. Then she turned the cage round. Cats? No! Dogs? No! Two Big black rats - Yes! The other two people on the seats soon cleared off, one to see the train conductor, who promptly turned up. However, trains today don't have luggage compartments and she was able to persuade him these were bona fide pets and so I spent the next 3 hours facing these beasts while they tucked in and I tried to make the best of my now not very appetising cheese butty.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Cheese butty Tealeaf, its a wonder they didn't gnaw through the bars to join you:rolleyes:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

He cant find enough to pull out with pliers. :D You want to volunteer?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

No show without Punch. Not now but 40 years ago I would have taken his head with it. :)
Gave him chance to use foul language again though.:eek:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

dont wind him up coz 40 years ago he woulda kicked your ass lol

nowadays he will give you dirty look and pee his incontinance pants

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

You wish........Maybe old but still able to conduct a serious conversation without resorting to foul language........my comment was not aimed at Spuggie....I had you im mind.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

he would have had a hard job doing that accyman - spuggie was just a twinkle in his dads eye 40 years ago ... hes not 40 till next May ....:D:D:D

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

well its nice to be thought about.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Add another 6 weeks n that would be closer. :D He asked a question about dentists so i answered. :D

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Lots of Swine flu cases being confirmed around our area now, I personally know of one woman who has it, rang her GP today and told to quarantine herself and contact her daughter and grandchild to do the same; it's getting bigger by the day. This particular friend was so weak she couldn't lift her arms above her head, and she is normally a fit 37 year old.

Now confirm at Oswaldtwistle Primary School
 

My children attend St Andrews Primary in Oswaldtwistle. Today we received a letter informing us that a child in the school has been diagnosed with swine flu.

As far as I am aware, it is those with low immune systems (eg, pregnant, babies, ill or elderly) that are most at risk. Hope this kiddie is okay. Must be scary for family.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Now pupils at Peel Park School, one confirmed, two unconfirmed.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Shadsworth Infant School have a confirmed case

my niece goes there, my bro's keeping her off, they have a baby due in 8 weeks and he's not risking it for the baby's sake

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I don't blame them for doing that, it's not worth risking anything. Siobhan's nursery sent all the children home with a letter last Tuesday saying a case had been confirmed there. Siobhan was sent home with a temperature on Wednesday afternoon, she has had no other symptoms at all. The on call doctor prescribed her with Tammiflu and me with Relenza with the baby being due this week, but I don't see how the doctors can make a right diagnosis over the phone without actually conducting any test on those people with symptoms.

Siobhan was back to normal by Thursday afternoon but cannot go back to nursery until she has finished the course of tablets.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Suppose even if you visited the doctor, he can't see your symptoms ... just listen to what you are suffering. Tests take a few days too so would be too late to treat.

Pleased Siobhan is better ... and we all look forward to some good news later in the week from you. :)

Personally, went for my pneumonia jab this morning (missed an appointment in Winter) .. but got letter advising me to do this as is a major complication to flu for people 'of my age'.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

My daughter is now in bed feeling very under the weather, one of her friends from Hassy High has been diagnosed with it and they were together at a sleepover on friday! Hope this is just coincidental!:confused:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I too got this letter when picked little en up

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Have you rung NHS Direct? Think I would just to see what they say, hope she is ok.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Have done the symptoms checker thing and it's looking like a full house!:eek:
Will ring Doc's tomorrow, I feel fine as yet, Kels looking increasingly ropey though, flushed face and shivery. Not good.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

The worst aspect of this flu is the tide of panic that's sweeping so many people along. Flu is always nasty and people die from it but it's more usual in Winter so no one comments very much. This flu has landed in mid Summer and it has a Name.

I had a flu with a Name in the Summer of 1957. It was called Asian Flu and I was only 14. I was very ill for a few days and very weak for a few weeks but people were dieing from it. It swept the country and half the world but there wasn't the hysteria there is about this swine flu. The media and the internet have a lot to answer for.

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

they do advise that you get the antivirals in your system as soon as possible and i believe they arrange pick up of them any time of the day,they dont usually make such a fuss about antivirals when there a flu bug going around but its up to you im just mentioning that the NHS direct people advise getting teh antivirals as soon as possible to increase their chances of working

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

hope that didnt sound patronising it wasnt supposed to

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

can I ask what the symptoms checker thing is?:confused:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

here ya go GG
Swine flu - Symptoms

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

They have now stopped doing tests kate, with so many people going down with the virus, they even say don't go to your GP, just arrange to get the antiviral drugs if you have the symptoms. It doesn't help wen the chief medical officer Liam Donaldson keeps coming on TV and giving the worst case scenario and scaring the living daylights out of everybody, he's certainly got me jumpy and I don't get out that much.
I'm due to go to the Royal in a fortnight for a precautionary ECG I'm seriously thinking about not going, I'm asking myself do I need to be in a place with hundreds of people any of who could have this virus and given the fact that If I get it I wouldn't stand a chance, scary very scary:eek:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

When I had an ECG last summer, it was done by a practice nurse at the doc's surgery.
So it may be available at one of the 2 new medical centres - no harm in asking

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

thanks for the good wishes (:

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

You feeling any better today?

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

I think its getting worse, Im aching all over now. ):

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Has it been confirmed as Swine Flu? Hope you feel better soon:)

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

not 100% sure on this but yes i think they do get the tamiflu sent out to you so that you dont go into the chemist infecting others epsecially if your a high risk person,wether or not they will deliver it to your door at night i dont know for sure

also a doctor could send a prescription to a 24 hour chemist like the boots at blackburn near teh ice ring stadium as i have had prescriptions sent there late at night and have collected them

seen as lindsay works for a chemist she may have a better idea on what services are provided

ps:

get well soon to the pooly person

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

get well soon moon ... hope you soon feel better ...

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Found this on the website:

If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu:

• Read up on swine flu symptoms then use the NHS Direct swine flu symptom checker
• If you are then still concerned, stay at home and call your GP
• If swine flu is confirmed, ask a healthy friend or relative to visit your GP to pick up a document entitling you to antiviral medication
• They will then need to pick the medication up at a collection point your GP will advise on (a local pharmacy or similar)

Note: If you belong to a high-risk group it is particularily important you start taking antivirals as soon as possible. High-risk groups include people with long-term conditions, those over 65, children under five and pregnant women.

Swine flu alert from the NHS

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

Awww, hope your on the mend soon x

Re: swine flu case confirmed from hyndburn park school!
 

in reference to shillelagh's post

so you should be able to pick a prescription up from teh out of hours doctors at blackburn and get the drugs from teh 24 hour chemist in blackburn

as long as you have transport or know somone willing to collect it for you then you can get the drugs pretty quickly , otherwise you have to wait it seems.
