The Swine Flu, H1N1, is a growing pandemic threat. How long is it from the time of exposure, until the time that symptoms appear, and also, to the time of contagion? The latter two may be the same, but the former should be different.
I am concerned, as any responsible person should be about his health, the health of his family, friends, and community.
I am a student of history, and know that with the 1918 pandemic, people got sick, then recovered, and then later, died by the bushel full.
I am extremely concerned about his situation. If it becomes something rather benign, my concern is unwarranted. If my concern is on the other extreme, we should be alarmed and take as many precautions as possible.
Prudence says to wait for the facts to come. But, maybe, prudence says, let’s shut down things to be safe, rather than sorry.
In light of the global economic crisis, I think that countries are slow to shut down travel due to the further hit on global business.
I think they are cowards, and this time should show great bravery…..let the chips fall where they may. If the epidemiological situation signals pandemic, shut things down.

What Is The Incubation Period Of The Swine Flu, A/h1n1?
My Sister Has A(h1n1)… And Is It Possible That I Also Acquired It?
ok, so my sister became positive for A(h1n1)
she became pretty ill last Thursday till yesterday…
is it possible that i also acquired it? or it is just a common cold or whatever…
because i started to have a bit of runny nose and muscle pain starting on saturday to this day(monday)
so is it really possible that it is a(h1n1)…? because of all the symptoms only runny nose and muscle pain are the only ones i am experiencing right now… no fever, loss of appetite, headache, nausea, etc.
Is This A Symptom Of A(h1n1) Flu?
Hi guys, i just wanna ask if this are a symptoms of swine flu, i am experiencing chills,sore throat, colds, my eyes sores and severe headache but i don’t have fever at all.
Thank you for your response.
My Nephew Exhibits 90% Of The Signs & Symptoms Of A(h1n1) But His Parents Are Kind Of In A “state Of Denial”..?
and dismisses it as another one of those regular asthma attacks which runs in the family.
My nephew has been lethargic, vomiting, irritable, has difficulty breathing, on and off fever, cough, and shows flu-like symptoms!
I’m afraid of the POSSIBILITY that he may be carrying the swine flu virus but his own parents don’t care at all.
Our family lives in one compound and it would be very easy to spread the virus to every household member if indeed my fears turn out to be true.
What should I do?
I live in this part of my country (Philippines) where it’s expected that most government authorities that lead our community do not even know how to handle such case. Even at the local community school, where it has already been reported that several students are getting sick everyday, no action is being done by the School Head. No monitoring, no recording, no investigation on the sick pupils being done. Everyone seems to be in denial of the possibility it may happen in our own community! The teachers are reminding the pupils to wash their hands regularly, that is all. And no action being done on the sick students who opt to stay at home without proper monitoring and health check up. Still, what if?? That sick child may still spread the virus to his/her family members without knowing it.
Anyway, to make matters worse, if I decide to tell someone of my worries about my nephew, for sure it would create a big fight between me and my sister-in-law which I do not want to happen (if possible) because it will affect the whole family!
What should I do? Help.
