I am a bit astounded that doctors in minor clinics in Nova Scotia can claim to have diagnosed swine flu in four high-school students. Are they using some form of test like the HIV western blot, or are they just looking at these people weezing and in light of the present hysteria, saying OH MY GOD! SWINE FLU!

I’m planning to buy face masks for the A(H1N1) virus and I wanna know if the appropriate one is the N95 variant. And would different brands give different levels of protection against the virus (eg. cheaper brand, less effective)? Thanks and God bless!

Because swine flu is one of the top stories on every news media resource, many people who have normal flus or even colds, are going to the doctor’s office or buying lots of medicines and drugs. What if it is a corporate and government sponsored media sensationalized rumor to try and help the boost the global economy?

Since the CDC reports only 26 confirmed cases with 8 deaths in Mexico, that would be a mortality rate much higher than the H1N1 influenza outbreak of 1918, which killed tens of millions. Why are the mortality rates in Mexico so much higher than the rest of the world. Does anyone know what the actual mortality rate is?

I was wondering how long can the swine flu last in healthy adults around 20 before the symptoms subside? Once you get the swine flue is it true that you will be immune to this strain? Also currently I have a minor cough and minor aches but not unbearable needing a doctor. Do you think I have the swine flu in a moderate form? I have heard that drinking wine in moderation can prevent if not lessen symptoms of the flu.

Thanks for your help.

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It’s fair to say it’s a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year…
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you’re elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that’s not news!

Are we panicking over nothing?

Considering that the current H1N1 “swine flu” is actually a combination of swine flu, avian flu and human flu strains from different continents, I would like to have a scientific explanation of how it is possible for this “triad” flu strain to have developed naturally.
