H1N1

Yep.  Wal, ifin the shots ever become available.  Lordy they've been slow comin, particularly after all the hype and the promises and promises then the revamps and revamps.  Sheesh, don't know when of if they'll ever show up.
This weekend in Fargo, it's for lil kids....for lil kids located in Cass County.  In ND they're doing it by county.
Next week it'll be for...........?  So we wait til next week.

Shots........ ahhhhhh Ya Okay I guess I better do that, from what I hear the alternative is scary.  And even tho I'm mostly a hermit and never go anywhere I seem to catch every  dang bug that in the vacinity when I do go out around people.

The virus is Scary, deaths, last I heard a perfectly health 13 year old Hockey Player, fit as a fiddle died within a week or so of becoming ill, he'd been to the clinic 3 times before he passed out and ended up in the hospital and unfortunately he died, omg that is so horrific.

Depending on whom you listen to the Shot is scary, so who the heck know's?    I guess if you get a little sick with the short it maybe means that you would have been a whole lot sicker without it......immunity thing or what.?

anyhoooo, latest here is little children, elderly anyone with a chronic illness is first and they are offering them right now so I guess I better get on it.

We've had a cold all of us including baby for over 3 weeks sicker than sick, (ya and moving...oy) ... Baby got sent home from sitter cause he was running around playing and all of a sudden stop and hurl.....awwwww (apparently took it in his stride, picked himself up and kept on going)  he still has a cough.

Jocelyn phoned her sis last night to come pick him up after she was done work, cause Jocelyn is sicker than sick, acky, fever, hurling.........made her call the Dr. this am...., her Dr. is away, they did not answer at the hosp to talk to emergency Imagine that???? what the hell.........so she called a Clinic .......nurse said there are a lot of different virus's going around, a lot of them the usual ones that make their rounds this time of year.  BUT ya okay that's true But how the heck do you know which is which?????

My stomach has been making mighty strange noises for the past 2 days, both ends staying closed so far.....but you know that feeling like your head is in a vice grip all fogged and got a headache.......that'd be me today again, and still the stupid cold.

Sooooooo..........sheeshhhhhhhh what were we talking about, LOL......must have the memory taker away Virus today.....lol.

To take or not to take the lovely needle of wonder drug (or poison depending whom you listen to)

Methinks ya I'll take it.......dang I hate being sick.

YEPPERS it certainly is scarey right now.
BUT
sounds very much like SARS right just a different name.
Every year we have a new name for the flu!

Me thinks that because we take drugs for everything 
that our own immune system just can not keep up to all the bugs.
BUT this one is just another flu that has strengthened 

BUT here is where I HAVE a HUGE ????
Every years the shot is different because it is last years flu shot.
Why would we need that??
It has gone by and for sure will have another name this year.
Besides if we survived last year than our immune system did something right because we survived.

As we can see this year
we have last years shot and 
now they have somehow (which they have NOT be able to do before this year) got the shot for this years flu
Now that has me wondering how they did that???

So you get 2

I called the health Unit here after hours of waiting for someone to call back asked one question
How do you know someone has H1N1? What test or what in the blood are you looking for??/
They could not answer.. Did however tell me they are not testing anymore.
Well that is nice so now...someone guesses, because of symptoms they assume are going on and guess who has it worse.

I then asked. IF you do not feel better in a few days, then you are diagnosed with H1N1??? That did not go over well.
BUT if the medical personal can not answer a simple question what the HECK 
How can they develop a shot for this years flu???

Am I getting the shot, at this time NO my immune system works as far as I can tell and I do not trust ????able shots.

ok.  Here's the scoop:

We have the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.  When it's summer here, it's winter in the southernsphere.  And winter here means it's summer there.  It alternates because our planet Tilts differently during the year:  1/2 year the northern half is tilted toward the sun, making it hotter for us northern folks.   Being tilted toward the sun means the bottom half is tilted Away from the sun, making it colder for them.

When it's colder, humans stay inside where it's warm.  Inside and in closer quarters means we're closer to each other and germs begin to get shared.  Like at school (our children are the germiest lil critters) so our kids share germs and bring 'em home to parents who then take them to work and share them there.  Poof, lotza folks getting colds and 'Flu'.
While we're doing that, folks in the southern half of the planet are outside enjoying spring and the oncoming summer....in the sunshine and warming air.  They're pretty much not sharing germs any more.

Now, for the doggoned germs:  those lil buggers mutate pretty darn quick.  The germs that are in our area now are the ones that'd been moving around with the folks down south durning their winter and spring.  As they moved, they mutated a lil here and there, and moving northward.

While that was happening, the CDC folks were identifying the Flu germs down south, and making innoculation fluids for the 3 worst flus that were circulating. 
Every Season (that 6 month period...but when we're pretty much indoors) there are 5 - 7 flu viruses making the rounds.

The shot protects us from the 3 most Severe.

The Shot contains DEAD cells from the 3 worst flus.  We canNOT get sick from the shot.  It gives our immune system a heads up on recognizing the new intruder....our body's army is ready to kick some serious ass.

The H1N1 shot is made of dead cells, we canNOT get sick from that shot.  That shot is made from the products gleaned during last spring's "What the hell is happening?!" Flu.
It's made because it is Killing age 49ish and younger, and those few who never had a flu from those long years ago.  Like you and your children and your grandchildren.

If it happens to your family, you suddenly go from 'ain't happenin to me!' to a 100%, and a funeral.

Whose life are you willing to gamble with???  Yours???  Theirs???

And should you get a slight case of the swine flu....what stranger and their child are you willing to kill because of your sneeze??? and a thing you touch?

The flu is real.  The self responsibility is real.  The choice is a life saver, or not.

The thing that bothers me about this 'swine' flu:  A mix of pig, avian, and human flu virus.

It popped up suddenly in Mexico....outta nowhere. 
Whereas previous years had it rearing it's ugly head in remote places in China, but always as a pig and avian flu...with the hoy and cry of "omg what if it should INfect a person with Human flu?!  om!"
Then, there it was in Mexico for heaven's sake.  Another place of majorly crowded and non hygienic conditions.

Then, popping up in diverse places that had NO connection to anything in Mexico.  No trips to or from mexico.  No airplane trips of any kind to or from anywhere. 

All the while the WHO and CDC giving a hoy and cry about PANDEMIC.......gads, we were being given mental images of humanity around the world being decimated by this horrid Swine/Avion/Human flu. 

Told often enough and loud enough, the human poplulation does exactly what it's being programmed to do...it panics.  It gets scared.  For itself, it's children and it's neighbors, but mostly.....for itself.  Hey, even on airplanes that's what they instruct...put the oxygen mask on yourself first, then help others.

Somehow in someway, the whole of it seems manufactured  Yes, the flu is real.  But it's the way of it that makes me question the how of it.

Ohh, remember the poor Mexican farmer who's pigs were blamed for the outbreak??  Also remember that no one in his family had the human flu.  No, it sure as heck did not originate there.

I think everyone is going to have to choose for themselves. 
Yes in some cases for their families as well. 
I am not sure at all the world medical society 
(WHO &CDC) really knows what they are doing to tell you the truth.

 Here in Canada they have been preparing for this for a few years now, 
yet here we are a Regional Hospital 
and only have 7 ventilators which of course are all used up
Any ??? cases are shipped out somewhere else.

I am sure they will run out of ventilators soon there as well. 
 I also believe there is a level called the Ethical level of care. 
Someone NOW will decide who they will attempt to treat and those who someone feels is too far gone.
I believe we are there NOW!

The boys friends mother was diagnosed with H1N1 and has sever Emphysema. 
Been on O2 for 4 years now and each year is progressively worse. 
She was diagnosed one day  on Vent for 3 days and now getting ready to come home, breathing well??? 
Is this H1N2 
NO.... I believe again someone jumped to conclusions 
once said it was H1N1 they really can not re-neg.

Like Sars, this was made it into something it really was not. 
Each year the flu is stronger and will take people with deficient immune systems. 
YES we have heard of young perfectly healthy people who have succumb to this disease,
 BUT then how many young people do die and the medical system can not really give an answer.
 It does happen. Now the media is making sure we are aware of it!

Yeppers this is something everyone is going to have to make their own chose on.
Here, they are running out of vaccine and are saying only the 6  critical categories can have it right now.
Others will have to wait till the second flow.

Schools are closing,
sports are stopping community activities are stopping as well.
????? on what will happen next!

Asked will the shot prevent you from getting the virus...
NO help with symptoms! 
If you are sick you are sick.
If your immune system is NOT working
sometimes nothing helps!

How can we build up immunities against dead cells??? 
They are not working so are dormant.
My Dad has gotten the flu shot twice in his life,
he was so sick both times that he refuses to ever get it again.
I hear this quit a bit, especially by people who do not take meds regularly.

Again just my opinion 
and I am fortunate in that all my children are grown 
and will make their own decisions.
I have 2 friends with Immune deficient systems 
one was told by her specialist she can NOT get any flu shot especially this H1N1 
then the other was told go NOW ASAP
So clear as MUD you got, our WHO and CDC is clear as MUD!

I hear ya butterfly.  The info we've been fed and are being fed, tends to contradict each other and it'self. 

Over the last several years, the Whoever (cdc/who/??) have been 'making noises' about seniors not responding with full immunity to the flu shots.
and i thought, "what are they setting us up for now??"

is this a tailor-made-virus?  i doubt we'll ever know.  The how, what, when, where of it sure has made me wonder.

Will i get the shot?  Yes.  As soon as it's available.  Do i feel it's safe?  I have my questions.  Do i feel it's safe to Not get the shot?  Dang ifin they're not the same questions.

yep, same true here.  youngsters (6mo thru prego's) are still the focus.  they say more vaccine is coming.  but, no one says When.  and it's hard to find a Where.

as bad as this organization is, what the hell would be happening if there were a bio-terror thing going on that every one needed to be immunized against??

so much for all our Great Protectors in our various gov administrations having their ducks all in a row.
bah!
