[QUOTE="witzend, post: 306009, member: 99"] Isn't the flu a virus? I'm finding it hard to get more worked up about the H1N1 virus than I do about other enfluenzas. The flu is bad, and for people with weakened immune systems the flu is worse than for healthier people. I see the problem with H1N1 as being that there isn't a vaccine readily available yet, and that there is more chance for it to spread. But realistically, and maybe I'm wrong, the flu is the flu, is the flu. Isn't it? Or am I missing something? I think that one [I]really[/I] good thing about the heightened awareness is that everyone really is paying attention to washing their hands and covering their mouths, and (hopefully) staying home or keeping sick kids home instead of "toughing it out" and spreading [I]all[/I] of the nasty germs that are normally shared this time of year.
