[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 314655, member: 4040"] Since I read two papers a day, it's sometimes hard to remember my sources, however...the reason that h1n1 is a "young person's flu" is because of the 1918 outbreak, and the epidemic after either WWII or the Korean Conflict. The people who went through either (or both) of those still have the antibodies built up against this very similar flu, and those of us who do not are more susceptible. For the record, I've been sick now (off and on) for about a month. I feel great for a couple of days, then I'm back in bed with all symptoms raging. I worked three days last week, and started coughing again yesterday. I've also been through two rounds of antibiotics, because I've had pneumonia several times. I'm not working today, so we'll see how I feel later on. [/QUOTE]
