Swine Flu (H1N1/09)

Well only because right now is cold and flu season and you have a fever is not thatcontagious. You only have the swine flu if you these symptoms.
1. Cough
2. Vomiting(Sometimes)
3. Diarrhea(Sometimes)
4. Sneezing or Runny nose (stuffy nose)
5. Fever (not everyone with the flu won't have the fever)
6. Muscle and body aches
7. Headache
8. Chills
9. Fatigue
10. Sore throat

If you have all these symptoms you are diagnosed with the swine flu. If you do have see a doctor immediately so the swine flu virus won't spread.

You cannot destroy a virus with antibiotics, because antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses. Tamiflu and other meds similar attack the virus, but it is not always successful, as viruses are quick to mutate and become immune to antivirals out there.

they eat puppys. Stupid Chinese people.

Yes, it is recommended that you should as soon as it is made available to your risk group. You should get the flu shot that has inactivated virus particles instead of the nasal vaccine that contains live attenuated virus in it, however. People with Crohn's disease are more susceptible to the virus due to their immunocompromised state and medications they may be taking for the Crohn's. Being vaccinated is especially important for you. But, because of the disease and medications, there may also be a diminished immune response to the vaccine which could leave you without full immunity even after getting the vaccination. For that reason, you should continue to practice all recommended precautions (such as handwashing, avoiding exposure, etc.) even after receiving a vaccination.

Errors in the ATP7B gene produce a protein with decreased ability to bind copper. Unused copper is then absorbed back into the bloodstream where it is transported to other organs

It is not unusual to have a temperature slightly below normal with some viral infections, such as the flu. Although usually the initial temperature is high with most kinds of influenza, it can be below normal in some people, especially in the later stages of the infection.

You are doing the right thing to keep an eye on your temperature for a while after other symptoms are gone. In some people and with some strains of the flu, fever can also return even after a short period of a normal or below normal temperature. Once you go a full 24 hours without symptoms and without fever when checked with a thermometer (and when using no fever-reducing medicines, such as aspirin or Tylenol, etc.), you can be considered no longer contagious.

I did and had no problems, plus, I had 3 others with those.

NO. You cannot.

They are different types of influenza viruses. Human "Swine flu" (H1N1/09) is caused by Type A viruses.

No. SARS is severe acute respiratory syndrome. SARS pandemic started in China about 2003. Swine Flu is H1N1.http://www.ehow.com/how_4932177_proactive-swine-flu.html Kathy

All influenza viruses are easily spread by person to person contact, and have relatively short incubation periods before you begin to notice the symptoms. Having the virus on your hands and then touching your face, nose, mouth or eyes can easily transfer the infection. We do this without noticing all day everyday, so it is a hard habit to break. To help, create a new habit of washing your hands more frequently to protect yourself and others. The symptoms of influenza, like the pandemic H1N1 flu, involve the respiratory system where your symptoms are more quickly noticed and your activities can be easily affected by difficulty breathing and coughing.

In young children they are usually given in the large muscle of the lateral thigh. If the child is developed well enough to have good muscle tissue available in the arm, they can get the vaccination in that muscle. The clinician who is giving the flu vaccination will make the decision for the patient at hand on the best site of the injection.

That depends on a few factors. What country you are in whether there a national program for dispensing the anti-viral medicine is one factor, some countries are providing this to people through a national program. What insurance coverage, if any, do you have is a factor since some cover preventive medicines and some do not. Is there a drug manufacturer who makes this drug (in brand or in generic form) that has offered it to people with confirmed or probable cases of the Novel H1N1. Check with your health care coverage plan, your doctor, your local public health department, or your national health ministry to find out if it is available to you free or at reduced costs.

the shot is to prevent infection not to treat it

When you're sick with a fever, you may not mount as good of an immune response to the vaccine.

The virus and bits that travel through the air are microscopic enought to pass through the small pores in the mask.

schools shut down if one case of swine flu has been found, becasue this way less people are likely not to catch the flu.

well i know everywere swine flu is here are the places currently cataw county have 1 person with swine flue if they have it it will spread in a matter of days and here is the list:

catawba county

mexico

North carolina

new york(new york is the worst city that has lots of victims at this moment)

england(has over 10,000 people with swine flue currently raising by day)

I will update people tomorrow when people get swine flu and please dont get sick or go near anyone with swine flu or even use anything they use throw the items away or burn them cause the germs will die if burned and please dont get swne flue you can die from this!

Yes, according to Dr Marie-Paule Kieny, the Director of the Initiative for Vaccine Research at WHO Headquarters in a press briefing on July 13, 2009. Dr. Kieny said:

"In terms of obesity, obesity has been observed as being one of the risk factors for more severe diseases other than H1N1 influenza. This is an observation. We still don't know exactly if it is obesity itself which is a risk factor, or if it is other health conditions which arise because of obesity. For the time being it is an observation and a lot of investigations are conducted to try and understand this better.

It has been observed in several countries that people with a body mass index over 30, and even more, over 40, have a higher chance of having a severe disease than non obese people. This is why one of the groups that was mentioned, that was listed by SAGE, and that was worth considering for pandemic influenza vaccination contains all populations over 6 months of age with risk factors, and one of the risk factors listed is obesity."

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement long used to determine presence and degree of overweight and obesity in an objective manner. It is calculated from weight and height resulting in a number that can be translated into an indicator of the fat ratio in the body.

A BMI of over 30 is often considered to be indication of "morbid obesity". This means that the obesity is causing unhealthy conditions that allow disease and disorders to develop. In Novel H1N1, the risk of serious illness or death is greater in the morbidly obese than the general population.

See the related links below for a link to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site with a BMI calculator for adults and children/teens.

No, probably not. There is genetic material from Asian Pig Influenza in the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu", but it also has components of Avian (bird) Flu, European Pig Influenza and Human Flu. The new strain is very different from prior strains of the H1N1 flu or any other Type A Influenza viruses, so there should be no antibodies effective for A-H1N1/09m

Although the name 'swine flu' brings up a lot of extra fear and worry, it is important to note that swine flu is just an influenza A H1N1 virus. That means that it is just another type of flu virus, just like that causes our typical seasonal flu symptoms. The big difference is that the current swine influenza A (H1N1) virus has components of pig and bird influenza viruses in it, so that humans don't have any immunity to it. That is what made it more likely that it would become a pandemic virus (have the ability to cause a global outbreak) because it could easily spread from person-to-person. So far, even as you see swine flu cases increase on this swine flu map, experts don't know if this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus will return in the fall for another wave. It could or we just continue to see sporadic cases for a few weeks or months until it stops. We do know that swine flu symptoms are just like seasonal flu symptoms. According to the CDC, like seasonal flu, symptoms of swine flu infections can include: * fever, which is usually high, but unlike seasonal flu, is sometimes absent * cough * runny nose or stuffy nose * sore throat * body aches * headache * chills * fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme * diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu Signs of a more serious swine flu infection might include pneumonia and respiratory failure. If your child has symptoms of swine flu, you should avoid other people and call your pediatrician who might do a rapid flu test to see if he has an influenza A infection. Further testing can then be done to see if it is a swine flu infection. (Samples can be sent to local and state health departments and the CDC for confirmation of swine flu, especially if a child is in the hospital.) With regular seasonal flu, infants and the elderly are usually thought to be most at risk for serious infections, in addition to people with chronic medical problems. Swine flu high risk groups, people who are thought to be at risk for serious, life-threatening infections, are a little different and can include: * pregnant women * people with chronic medical problems, such as chronic lung disease, like asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and immunosuppression * children and adults with obesity More serious symptoms that would indicate that a child with swine flu would need urgent medical attention include: * Fast breathing or trouble breathing * Bluish or gray skin color * Not drinking enough fluids * Severe or persistent vomiting * Not waking up or not interacting * Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held * Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough It is important to keep in mind most children with a runny nose or cough will not have swine flu and will not have to see their pediatrician for swine flu testing. This time of year, many other childhood conditions are common, including: * spring allergies - runny nose, congestion, and cough * common cold - runny nose, cough, and low grade fever * sinus infections - lingering runny nose, cough, and fever * strep throat - sore throat, fever, and a positive strep test * Swine flu likely spreads by direct contact with respiratory secretions of someone that is sick with swine flu, like if they were coughing and sneezing close to you.

* People with swine flu are likely contagious for one day before and up to seven days after they began to get sick with swine flu symptoms.

* Droplets from a cough or sneeze can also contaminate surfaces, such as a doorknob, drinking glass, or kitchen counter, although these germs likely don't survive for more than a few hours.

* Anti-flu medications, including Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir), are available to prevent and treat swine flu.

* The latest swine flu news from the CDC includes advice that children should not attend summer camps if they have had swine flu symptoms in the previous seven days and that camp staff should be quick to identify campers with swine flu symptoms and separate them from well campers.

The diameter of the needle is small no matter how old the patient. A child could use a needle that was shorter than an adult, but an overweight child and an adult of normal build could use the same length needle. A thin adult could use the same length needle as a child. Usually, clinics only have one size needle for adults and children. The healthcare professional would insert the needle the adequate depth for a child and the adequate depth for an adult. In theory, the needle would be inserted into the muscle a smaller depth than in an adult.

Flu shots can also be given in other locations besides the arm. If a baby receives a shot, usually they receive it in their thigh, and the healthcare professional would insert the needle to the correct depth to insert the medication into the muscular tissue.

An alternative is the new intradermal (ID) flu vaccine that uses a much shorter needle since it is injected into the tissue between the layers of the skin instead of into the muscle.

The flu mist, or the intranasal flu vaccine, is a good choice for pediatrics if they do not have certain medical conditions and are at least 2 years old. Another advantage of the flu mist is the lack of trauma from a shot. Adults can take the flu mist as well, up to age 49, as long as they are otherwise healthy.

a novel is a book and a threat is a warning of probable trouble so put them together and maybe you will find your answer.

on Sept. 21st I'm pretty sure
