Is swine flu time threathning?

Whats up with the media making a bit drama out of it? I heard from doctors and other online doctor picture of it and they said its just a common flu, those who dies are usually the one who are already badly not at your best like chronic heart problems or lungs or pregnant women.
just wondering cos I want my husband home soon, he's in UK right immediately but I'm worried he'd catch it in airports etc and be seriously ill, he told me here are cures but I still worry till I can't sleep.

Can anyone tell me wht they know about it or their prospect of it ?
Answers:     Like any illness it can affect people differently dependant on a number of factor such as your age, general health, genetic predispositions and so on. The fact is by September 2009 within the UK over 75% of the population will have swine flu or have had it.
populace that get swine flu do not even realise, it is only because of the media hype that everyone is getting so excited. The Spanish Flu surrounded by the first world war killed more people than Swine Flu, SARS, Avian Bird Flu / HN51 etc and the actual combat did cumulative and my point is that your husband is especially likely to catch some sort of virus on his journey near airports and planes being the worst for containing them, but the chances are he may experience, a cough, a cold, a fever.

The Health Protection Agency and Direct dot gov links below may aid, but they're factually based and made to sound more intimidating as the Government and its agencies cannot clearly say "it's nothing to worry about"

I hope your husband will be fine and presume contained by good faith he will be, my two nieces have swine flu and are fine, they're self-conscious because they're unwell but coming out the end of it and without any drama! Source(s): Health Protection Agency & Direct.Gov.UK
Depending on your general health it isnt but if you suffer from any problems such as diabeties, or asthma later it could take a toll on your body if you get another problem but no not really apart from that just infantile children and older people are in more hazard.
of my friends have/had it so it is a worry but im not thinking bout it 2 much
There is nothing spectacular about the swine flu other than how it begin. The symptoms of those with swine flu are the same as with any other strain of influenza. Those that die any had a complicated medical history or did not seek medical attention when they got into trouble. (Difficulty breathing, wheezing, pneumonia, etc.)

This have gained media attention partly because how it begin, how quickly it spread, the deaths, and the fact that it is still circulating, which is unusual for most strains of influenza. Scientists are expecting a desperate outbreak this fall and winter. Get immunized when the vaccine becomes available to protect yourself and others. Good handwashing practices other protect you from illness. Source(s): RN
Epidemic of swine influenza can be prevented by the self-hemotherapy
br>
In times of crisis, and in expert that we are living now, all possible resources to mitigate the effects of the crisis must be sought and evaluated.

Subsequently the procedure was banned by ANVISA contained by 2007, which fortunately did not prevent many people who continue using the procedure surrounded by the treatment and prevention of many diseases such as acne, arthritis, asthma, amidalite, gout, influenza and even several diseases auto-immune. After the ban, the patients who were using the self-hemotherapy be mobilized in their defense and have signed a petition addressed to the President of the Republic, requesting the release of the practice claiming that it is a healing procedure with no known risk to the patient and extremely forceful in the prevention of diseases in general, since it is a nonspecific vaccine, skilful of strengthening the immune system against various diseases, including influenza, caused by different types of viruses.

As the world lives contained by a climate of panic because the risk of swine flu appeared in Mexico in abril/2009, becoming a intercontinental pandemic like the Spanish flu of 1918, which some estimates reached 50 million deaths, or the Asian flu 1968, our duty to re consider the sound out of the use of self-hemotherapy in Brazil. The Spanish flu came to Brazil in October 1918 and remained for several weeks, until the finishing of November, but it was enough to kill at lowest possible 35 thousand people, mostly in Rio de Janeiro and S~ao Paulo. According to scholars and medical specialists worldwide, a unmarked influenza pandemic occurs more or less every 40 years and was closing recorded in 1968, influenza in Hong Kong or Asia, where on earth it is estimated that killed some 4 million people in the world. So 1918 + 50 = 1968 + 40 = 2008. Influenza be late, but arrived. Not by chance the World Health Organization (WHO) with the assistance of experts from around the world is pointing since the extension of the 90s about the threat of an influenza pandemic in this new century. It is believed that, despite the current resources within the medical field and in the best condition of health of the intercontinental population, the ease of transport and the huge mass of people to move to each corner of the world respectively day will be able to spread the virus to all continents within only 4 days.
ng into account that the application of preventive injection of the patient's own blood, taken from the vein and apply the muscle have the property of strengthening the reticule-endothelial system (immune system) as it stimulates the body to increase the number of macrophages in the blood from 5% to 22% in 8 hours after application, maintaining that smooth for 5 days, is extremely useful, given the epidemic of swine flu, the application of the vaccine, not only for Brazilians who will travel to Mexico, but also to Mexicans have not on the other hand hit by flu, which already has the mortality rate of 6%, demonstrating that this is really an epidemic of great gravity.

If the epidemic spread to other countries, which seems inevitable as the daily traffic of folks from Mexico and the disease continues to have an incubation period of 3 to 7 days, just a passenger contaminated by virus, into a country to create conditions for transmission of the virus to others and so on. Is provided only as a vaccine specific for this strain of influenza in swine within about 6 months, by then the epidemic will have produced a disaster of central proportions.

As this is an emergency, we believe the prudent application of the injection of blood from the patient's own vein (5 ml.), With an interval of 5 days to maintain the body beside the index of macrophages in blood around 22% especially if the epidemic really is installed and remain for a long time.

Obviously we can not ignore also the food, which must be of good power, including vegetables, legumes and fruits, especially citrus and those with large amounts of vitamin C, such as cherry, kiwi, cashew, etc.. Clearly, in the covering of an epidemic, we must also avoid agglomerations, indoors, cinemas, theaters, etc., using surgical masks for protection, and goggles to protect eyes, can also absorb the virus.

s just close to a normal flu, nothing to worry roughly it just caught media attention because its new.
Compared to common flu, the death rate of swine flu is lesser. The people who are dying already enjoy other serious diseases which are the cause of death.
Cheers!
