chances are, she wont get swine flu, and more people die from regular flu than swine flu. and soon there will be shots for swine flu, so dont worry. :)

ive had swine flu, its not that bad, just a bad flu. youre only in trouble if you have respiratory problems or underlying health issues.
kids get sick, its what they do, it helps their immune system get stronger.

my daughter has ashma, and she has had lots of problems since birth. she has been tested for tuberculosis, and cysticfibrosis… among many other things, because she is constantly sick and the dr.s dont know why. those test results came back fine, but i dont want to expose her to the swine flu if she isnt going to be able to kick it. i dont know, maybe im crazy, over reacting… hard not to when it come to your kids

keeping her back from school really isnt going to do much. she could catch it a million other places. just be diligent with her hygiene and if she seems to be getting the flu take her straight to the doctors.

hm, well, maybe you should wait until she has gotten swine flu shots before enrolling her in school. when its preschool, its fine to be enrolled a couple months late

honestly, swine flue is a great big pile of crap…
Its as contagious as a normal flu, it has the symptoms of a normal flu and it kills as many people as the normal flu… in other words it IS a normal flu…
The only thing is that by giving it a fancy name and talking about it all the time the public is now scared ******** and distracted from the financial reforms and the banks can go back to doing exactly what they were doing undisturbed….

they’re making a shot for it, and everyone needs to take it along with your other annual shots.

Sorry but I’m scared too. I have a one year old (and I’m 39 -waited a long time for this little guy)….and am a nervous wreck. No one can say for sure how things are going to unfold -I’m taking every precaution I can. It isn’t worth the risk to me.

The year 1918 and what happened scares me to death
