Actual lol.

is this really still going strong? i don't have cable so it's sort of out of sight out of mind for me.

in my county there have been 119 confirmed cases and 1 person died.

I have probably broken my rib and I am in a whole world of pain if I sneeze or cough, so I really, reallly hope I don't get it or anything like it.

i died last month from it

I work in a pharmacy and I had to wait on a customer who supposedly had it. I was not pleased.

It's picking up pace now. In the UK the government has given the order to stop treating it and you have to stay at home instead of seeing a doctor if you have symptoms.

They're expecting an average of 100,000 new cases a day in the UK by the end of August and I'm guessing it will snowball a bit from there.

Living in London, I fully expect to be sneezed on at some point.

I'm just now getting over a sickness, and I never went to the doctor so I don't know what it is. I doubt it's swine flu, but my dad said he hopes it is so that I get immunity to it when it hits big.

Thanks, Dad.

it stil lhas a stronghold in NYC

i think theres like one case where i live

so I had back pains, diarhea, headaches, runny sneezy nose and now coughs all at separate occasions

:/

I saw this chart that said of all the states, Wisconsin was the worst swine-flu-case-per-capita here.

So yeah

It freaks me out because we're only a month into winter here so it will probably be worse than in the Northern hemisphere.

WAAAAY more people die every year from REGULAR flu virus than everybody that has died from swine flu so far

i hate it that the symptoms are so common, I live in an area where there is only wet and dry seasons, it's freakin rainy and humid that no way you won't get colds and stuff

yeah, exactly.
i think the only thing we have to worry about is worrying about it.

i actually thought this was a joke blog at first, but i guess you're serious, aled!
i actually may have had it a few weeks ago, i was horribly ill and bedridden. i didn't take any medicine, kept exercising even, and im still alive.
im confident the human race will survive swine flu.

there was too much sarcasm in that post..i actually was sick. i didn't go to the doctor, though, due to lack of health insurance. it may have been the swine flu~

a friend of mine was terribly sick, she went to the doctor asked him if it was swine flu, he said it might be but refused to test for it, it was his opinion that it really didnt matter if it was the swine flu or not and just a waste of money and time to do the test for it.. which i think makes sense.

btw,. when i say terribly sick, i mean she had the flu, symptoms same as normal flu, but that still sucks.

aha...i've missed james.

Yeah - this blog is serious business! Just the keep a record of infected Threadlessers so I know who not to make out with. Whilst I appreciate the reassurances, I am doing this simply for statistical purposes - I don't think I'm gong to die, or that it's the end of the world. :)

You're scaremongering Aled, and you darn well know it.

More importantly how the fuck is Michael Owen gonna pass a medical at Man U?

I think some ball boys at Wimbledon had it and then some players had it.. Only no names so far, but there was a headline here "Will the swine flu stop Federer?" :D

So how do you catch a swine flu,is it even just by opening this blog?

haha - yes Garo.

Corrine - I think 'Swine Flu' in that context means 'Andy Murray'.

By reading this blog, you now have Swine Flu. If you do not create 10 new Swine Flu blogs within 24 hours of reading this one, someone very close to you will get Swine Flu.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

First Swine Flu death in London.

5 minutes ago on the BBC

Nooooooooo, chain letter, now I'm really scared!!!

UPDATE: JEBBIE HAS SWINE FLU

murray will be stopped by roddick :P

I would actually quite like to see the nice Andy win. Murray is a complete cock.

whatever happens, andy will be stopped by andy

I haven't seen/heard/known of anyone that's been sick, but this doesn't surprise me. People here seemingly tend to have weaker immune systems.

I think it's the cows. I think the uprising has begun.

Does Jebbie really have swine flu? Or are you joking? I can't tell, dammit!

OMFG LISTEN TO ME
Miss Jebbie says: (13:13:48)
I AM SICK YOU SHOULD GIVE ME ATTENTION

I think just because it hasn't killed as many people as regular flu would in a season so far doesn't mean it won't kill more than regular flu once the season is over. Also, it's happening in Summer in the Northern hemisphere, even with that "heatwave" they're reporting in London. I have heard the bird flu can't survive very well in the hotter temperature of a human nose which is why it hasn't been as bad as people were expecting (but it could mutate) but this swine flu seems to be quite good at infecting person to person.

Also, just because it's not going to kill you doesn't mean that getting it is not going to be horribly uncomfortable, a huge inconvenience and a massive pain in my ribs.

So I'm gald we're keeping track of you.

why is sj not sj?

sj's busted.

I'm POWER SCORING on my alternate account for statistical purposes and I logging out and back in would be a pain.

ah

so yeah i have potential swine.

also i totally said those things to fatheed (so weird typing his full user name ps)

So the Kid who plays Ron Weasely has confirmed having swine flu.

even wizards aren't immune

Well i said it in another blog, but my nieces had this, they closed quite a lot of schools in Jersey because of it. One school the next town over had 120 cases.

Is this still going on?

Wasn't it supposed to be here worse than anywhere?

no AB, you guys just made it then sent it to the rest of the world.

the power of cable tv news.

Rupert Grint has the swine flu!

I know you London bloggers were all going to camp out at the premiere of Harry Potter to get his autograph but stay away!

Swine flu has the risk of getting worse during the winter, so lets just hope that prediction doesn't come true.

So yeah

Wisconsin has had the most confirmed cases of any US state, but I believe that's due to more enthusiastic confirmation procedures (and available testing facilities) than having more actual cases.

Does it make people turn into pigs? I heard it makes people turn into pigs.
