This is Influenza A Strain, the worst thing they can do is call this crap “swine” flu…it never was and is NOT swine strain…here’s the symptoms:

How do you know if you have swine flu?

*Symptoms of swine flu are much the same as those of ordinary flu but with a tendency to be a little more severe, especially when there is vomiting or diarrhoea.

*Having a high temperature – over 100.4F (38C) – along with two or more other symptoms, is one of the indicators that swine flu is present.

*Other symptoms are a mixture of unusual tiredness, a headache, a runny nose, a sore throat, shortness of breath or a cough, loss of appetite, aching muscles, diarrhoea and vomiting. If you are concerned, the NHS recommends asking a GP for advice.

*For most people, swine flu is a mild illness and the advice is to stay at home, to rest, drink plenty of water and take over-the-counter flu remedies to alleviate the symptoms.

*For a small minority it can develop into a more serious illness and the complications that set in tend to affect the lungs

*Pneumonia is one of the most obvious complications.

*People who are considered to be at high risk of suffering serious illness if they go down with swine flu include patients who already have severe health problems. Among them are chronic heart, liver, lung and kidney conditions, neurological disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease and multiple schlerosis. Diabetes also increases risk as does immuno-suppression, whether it is caused by an illness or by treatment.

*Further groups classified as being at higher risk include pregnant women, children under five, the over-65s and asthma patients.

*The NHS recommends people in high risk groups have the 2010-11 seasonal flu vaccination to protect them against swine flu.
