And so does my whole family. We just had my litle girl at the emergency room last night because we could not get her temperature down. And here we were just thinking we had the "regular" flu! I think this whole thing is being blown way out of proportion. It is not that much different than when my whole family gets sick from the flu. Still alive and kicking, no one dead in my family, though alot of people are staying away from us for fear of getting it.
I'm glad to hear you've been more than surviving it.The thread title is classic; first time I've seen H1N1 & a ' :D ' in the same sentence.
WARNING: This signature violates Rule 5. Stay classy!
Glad to hear everything is ok.

Although I agree the whole H1N1 thing's overblown, I just wanted to wish you and your family feel better.
Just eat real well and be sure to take a good food based organic multi-vit and plenty of vitamin C. Sunlight and outdoors are a big plus as well.
The whole H1N1 scare is a bit too much. Quoting the relevant Wikipedia article:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses; however, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.
It may have been a problem during the 1918 outbreak, but things have changed a lot since then. Even normal flu outbreaks usually result in casualties in some people (immunocompromised, older people etc.), so the swine flu isn't a problem as big as the media says.
Consider telling others they shouldn't be so scared about this. And relax, you probably won't have any serious problems.
Happy to hear you are all OK....

Get well soon!I've been a skeptic of this whole swine flu hysteria since it started. It just stinks of something being blown up in order to justify more supra-national entities. I did a little light stats research for fun a few weeks back and discovered that more people die of rabies worldwide every day than will die of H1N1 in a year (projected based on current death rate). Hmm...
